The Soulslike action RPG The Relic: First Guardian has set a firm launch date for its initial release. Players can access the game on PC via Steam and PlayStation 5 starting July 31. This early availability allows fans of the genre to begin exploring the title well before other platform ports arrive later in the season.
Soulslike action RPG arrives with over 70 boss encounters and unique stamina mechanics
Perp Games and Project Cloud Games are developing this action RPG. The title distinguishes itself by featuring over 70 boss encounters across its campaign. Players can also choose from five distinct weapon types and navigate twelve separate skill trees to customize their approach to combat.
The game utilizes a unique stamina system that reserves resource management strictly for dodging and blocking actions. Attacks operate on an unrestricted basis, limited only by specific cooldown timers rather than a global stamina pool. This design choice encourages aggressive playstyles while maintaining defensive depth through the dedicated dodge mechanics.
Ports for Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch 2 are scheduled to arrive later in the Summer. PlayStation 5 owners who prefer physical media will have a separate release window for an exclusive retail version. That specific edition will become available on September 4, providing a tangible option for collectors after the digital launch.
