God Of War meets Uncharted in beautiful new RPG

I want to draw your attention to a game reveal that you may have missed in recent weeks.

Resident Evil: Requiem, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, Marvel’s Deadpool VR, and Persona 4 Remake were a few of the headliner titles this showcase season, but plenty of new IPs were also unveiled.

Echoes of the End is one that particularly caught my eye, and its release isn’t all that far away.

Merging a God of War-esque world with an Uncharted-inspired sense of adventure, Echoes of the End has been made very much with a narrative-driven gameplay formula.

The trailer gave me a PlayStation first-party feel, but it isn’t that at all.

Echoes of the End is a cross-platform release that’ll be launching on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC this summer.

This action-adventure title centres around Ryn, “a powerful vestige born with volatile magical abilities, as she sets out to rescue her brother from a brutal empire on the brink of war”.

“Alongside haunted scholar Abram Finlay, she must uncover a conspiracy that could reignite an ancient conflict and plunge the world of Aema into chaos,” the synopsis continues.

“Driven by themes of trust, sacrifice and redemption, the story unfolds across 10 hand-crafted chapters filled with cinematic moments, memorable characters and high-stakes decisions.”

I cannot wait to play this one; it’s exactly up my alley.

The game is third-person with the combat mainly utilising swordplay and magic.

Echoes of the End’s world is inspired by Iceland, so you can see why I’ve drawn a God of War comparison as it too is included within the Nordic Region.

As for that Uncharted link, Echoes of the End features “engaging traversal and thought-provoking puzzles”.

Luckily, Ryn can use her powers to create illusions, cause destruction, and manipulate gravity which all assist with those puzzles.

All in all, it sounds as if the title ticks every box.

Echoes of the End has been developed by Myrkur Games. It’ll be published by Deep Silver.

Given that the game is set to land this summer, hopefully, a release date reveal isn’t too far away.
