Elden Ring meets God Of War in gorgeous new RPG

Something truly beautiful can be born from combining together the aesthestics of two exceptional games; we're seeing this right now from a new action RPG.

We appreciate that a lot of you are more concerned with Elden Ring DLC news rather than new games to play – you need to prepare for that inevitable 'Malenia 2.0' boss fight. Nevertheless, while Shadow of the Erdtree is calling to us, it won't arrive for several months yet, and so it makes sense to keep your reflexes sharp elsewhere.

Can you say no to your fate? It's time to find out in Vindictus: Defying Fate

You could go back and revisit classic God of War titles, or you could take a risk and venture into the world of Vindictus: Defying Fate. This yet to be released Steam game will instantly wow you with its fantastic looks; its visuals filled with depth. But beyond that, there lies a game that promises substance too – it's a combination not so easily found.

Your character is yours to command and customise, a feature that many, like myself, relish having. Once you've created your warrior, you'll have beastly foes to vanquish, and stunning landscapes to traverse, the action never letting up for a moment. At least, that's what the developers are promising.

See for yourselves: "Welcome to the world of 'Vindictus: Defying Fate,' an adrenaline-fueled action game currently in the pre-alpha stage, where every clash is a symphony and every step is a dance with destiny.

Immerse yourself in a dark and intense odyssey, where you'll face towering adversaries and navigate a 3D world teeming with mystery and danger. Embrace the challenge, embark on the journey, and be a part of the saga that defies fate."

Should the journey not be one you wish to undertake, you can always set your sights on murdering one of the sweetest NPCs in Elden Ring, like one monster – sorry, gamer – did.

We just hope your soul can handle such a curious burden.
