Ember Souls, a highly anticipated magical hack-and-slash virtual reality game, is set to debut next week on Oculus Quest.
Crafted by VirtualAge, the developers behind the successful Guardians Frontline title released last year, Ember Souls presents an immersive experience where players take on the role of the final Immortal, embarking on a perilous quest to vanquish the enigmatic Shadow Sultan. With the instant thrill of Assassin’s Creed and Prince of Persia, this game promises non-stop action through physics-driven combat featuring over 20 lethal weapons, empowering magic abilities unlocked via “ember stones,” and pulse-pounding parkour sequences that challenge players to navigate treacherous barriers or avoid deadly traps with precision. Watch the highly anticipated brand-new trailer now!
In Ember Souls, players have the liberty of choosing between three distinct game modes. Will the marketing campaign yield a minimum of 75 distinct product lines across five distinct realms within an immersive, historically inspired Persian environment? In Raids Mode, compete against others on procedurally generated maps to claim the top scores and discover potent weaponry as you progress. In the Sandbox Coaching Environment, you have the unique opportunity to observe and refine your combat techniques in real-time.
We delved into Ember Souls at Gamescom 2024, impressed by the game’s innovative blend of elemental abilities and fast-paced action in its hack-and-slash combat.
During the demonstration, the character’s elemental wind abilities were prominently featured, offering several practical benefits… I was particularly impressed by their ability to repel enemies during combat, which provided a deeply satisfying experience reminiscent of Synapse’s “drive powers.” As the comprehensive marketing strategy continues to evolve, I’m eager to observe how these powers augment their potency?
Ember Souls debuts on Meta Quest platforms November 21, priced at $25, with a 16% discount available for early adopters. The release date of the Steam version remains uncertain.
