Not much major new info but some cool stuff
Full Summary

- Godfall is a PS5 console exclusive, no PS4 or cross gen. Tailored to run on PS5

- PS5 allows Godfall to feel and play like no other game thanks to PS5 CPU and GPU

- Made by a team of 75 people

- Monster Hunter World in terms of gameplay, with elements of Dark Souls in combat.

- Some ex-Destiny 2 team members are involved

- The game rewards agressive play. Skill based combar based on timing in order to hit max damage

- Visual style and world building influenced by The Stormlight Archive, The First Law and Foundation series

- Positives around animation

- High fantasy setting divided into Eart, Air, Fire and Spirit Elements

- You are one of the least remaining Knight's Order tasked with stopping an apocolyptic event

- Start of the game you set a classed based on type of armour = 3 sets to pick from. A lot of customization to unlock as you progress

- Bosses designed to repel multiple people at once ie. in co-op bosses can take both of you out

- Game based around drop in and drop out gameplay like Destiny and Monster Hunter World with heavy Dark Souls Influence

Those are all the major points

Some older info from PSLS
- All players have ranged attacks at their disposal, but limited by cooldowns or charges. Godfall's focus is about tightening up the combat circle for melee combat. Players will always have two primary melee weapons to switch between during a mission, none of which are exclusively long-range in design.

- We have a wide spectrum of weapon classes ranging from small and nimble to heavy and powerful. Players collect powerful ancient armor sets called Valorplates, which contain myriad slots for players to insert powerful Augments that influence your playstyle. For example, you might add an Augment into your Valorplate that heals you and your allies whenever you hit an enemy's weak point for survivability, or you might insert a different Augment that summons deadly magical missiles that targets nearby enemies for soft AoE damage whenever you hit a weak point.

- The exceptionally powerful SSD on the PlayStation 5 offers a new level of detail for each individual object as well as seamless loading of our expansiveness world. Our combat is kinesthetic in nature, so the new controller's "adaptive triggers" and haptic feedback will make moment-to-moment combat feel exhilarating and visceral.

So is this actually going to be proper "hunting game"? I figured this was just going to be a more melee-focused Destiny-like.

I actually like that is being made with PS5 and PC in mind without the constraints of current gen hardware.

Intriguing. Going to have to see more in-depth gameplay before getting too excited though

Sounds good so far im in, I wonder how the timed exclusivity deal on this thing looks like with both Epic and PlayStation. Will it go to steam in a year but not Xbox, or Xbox but not steam, neither or both.

Epics not publishing it, so it will probably go on Steam once the exclusivity's up.
Unsure about Xbox, (that'll be up to Gearbox), but my guess would be it'd come to Series X eventually (though not the Xbox One)

Seeing that it's Gearbox I'm pretty skeptical of this game.

Even if it turns out to be decent I'll likely stay away with my stance on Randy Bitchford.

Godfall is interesting for sure. It's basically hogging the limelight when it comes to next gen-only games lol

Curious to see what it offers from a technical perspective!

Wonder if they will show more extensive gameplay soon or wait until Sony decides to talk again. The PS5 launch will be a great time to launch this game while new PS5 owners are looking for shiny new games to show off their new hardware's capabilities.

Mmm.. Interesting. I thought it would be a Warframe online type game.. but if it's got a strong story, deep combat, great lore they will expand with content down the line etc, it's worth an investment of my time.
Interesting it's a console exclusive, would like to see actual gameplay to see if their words are backed by what the game looks like (with regards to CPU/GPU stuff)

Now we can see how well 3rd party exclusive can take advantage of the SSD from Day 1 - I AM EXCITE!

If it's made by a team of 75 people, I do wonder about the amount of content within.

All sounds pretty good to me. Just allow parrying somewhere and you'll be hitting most of my interest points.

I think they're just talking about MonHon's combat not it's gameplay loop.

It's coming to PC too.

If this is decent I could see it be the Warframe of PS5 launch. Comes out as one of the few next gen titles, be updated over time, and grow in popularity.

Community manager on reddit:


Hey there!

Because of the latest world events, we hit a small bump in our production pipeline which unfortunately also affected our media beats.

We know we've been rather quiet lately, but don't fret! We have a plan that once wrapped up will bring you guys a torrent of news and updates.

Until then, have to hit you with that vague developer soon™ and hope it arrives as a pleasant surprise.

In the meantime, I can point you towards this interesting tweet to give you guys something to look forward to =]


Gearbox makes this an easy pass.

For whatever its worth


Will the recent issues with Gearbox and bonus pay affect you guys, or am I just misunderstanding things?

No, unfortunately for our friends on Gearbox, that's self-contained on their end (I'm actually just hearing about this today as well).
We're still operating as normal as we can from home.

It'll be interesting to see the differences between the PC/PS5 SSD's then.

If there are no differences either people will realize that the extra speed is offset by the PC's RAM or people will say that it was held back by the PC.

Is this PS5 exclusive just for exclusivity sake? What aspects make this game only playable on PS5? Seems like they are just capitalizing on the few number of PS5 launch titles, where people purchasing the PS5 on launch day are practically forced to buy this game due to lack of other choice.

I'm kinda lukewarm on this, since it comes off like a loot treadmill. Combat looks good though, and I'm very interested to see how it shakes out in the end

I just really wanna see the system requirements for this. Are they gonna actually say "nvme SSD mandatory" ? Or will SATA SSDs with extra RAM suffice?

In that sense, Godfall stands to be the trend-setter for PCs vs next-gen games.
