The God Slayer Announced, CG and Gameplay Trailer Released

Pathea Games has announced The God Slayer, a new “third-person, open-world steampunk fantasy, RPG” for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store. The release date for the game is currently unknown. 

Zifei Wu, founder and creative director at Pathea, states the following about the game: “Thematically The God Slayer is a big departure from what Pathea is known for, namely the My Time series. However we’ve made multiple open-world RPGs before, filled with beloved characters and varied systems for players to experiment with and flourish. The God Slayer has all that and more with our talented development team attempting something darker and more serious in tone, bolstered by thrilling elemental combat at its core.”

The Steam page describes the game as follows:

A long time ago, the Celestials created the world and all its inhabitants. They designed the creatures to cultivate an energy known as qi throughout their lifetimes. Upon death, this enriched qi would be passed to the Celestial realm, empowering them and granting them eternal life.

However, some curious humans discovered how to harness qi for themselves, transforming it into elemental powers—fire, water, earth, metal, and wood. These practitioners became known as Elemancers. The Celestials were outraged, viewing this as a misuse of what was rightfully theirs. To send a message, they launched a swift and brutal assault on the Zhou Kingdom, the mightiest in the land. In one night, the king and many Elemancers were hunted down and slaughtered. This day became infamously known as the God Fall.
