Funded on Kickstarter back in mid-2019 the game missed its 2019/2020 target for early access/full release but is still moving through development and is still planning a test release sometime before the full launch. With this trailer being for an upcoming Steam page we might get a more concrete date in the near future.

As for platforms the game is only confirmed for PC but the developers (just two of them) hoped for a console release on Xbox/PlayStation sometime after that (at least as described back in 2019).

Looks cool except for the title. "Bleak Faith: Forsaken" sounds like two completely separate names mashed together.

Damn that looks almost as good as Demon's Souls. Like what Demon's would look like running on last gen.

That opening shot looks almost like what if someone threw a Dark Souls character into a Fumito Ueda/Team ICO game.

Personally I think this scenes in this trailer lack some serious visual polish. A lot of the particle effects are flat, the environments sparse, seemingly struggling frame rate, and noticeable visual flickers in the trees.

I know this is a small team, so this isn't my assessment on the quality of the game, just what I see in the trailer.

That's a lot of words to say Souls-like. Also having horror base imagery doesn't make your game survival-horror.

Not what I expected given the description. More horror-themed than survival horror. It appears to be a Soulslike with a focus on the creepy environment- and monster-design.

(Fwuup, fwuup) Looks really great for a game that is made by two people. (Apart from that attack sound, fwuup, fwuup).

Maaaan. I feel like every Souls like that adheres too close to formula just ends up in a bucket of "not as good as regular Souls games". Othe ones that succeed are always one that pull bits and pieces but go off an do their own thing ala Fallen Order.

I am for sure interested but cautious.

Cause the setting is like really weird. In places it looks like it's medieval but then you see the UI and other stuff and realize it's actually also Sci-Fi:





I really hope it turns out good.

After enjoying a lot Mortal Shell, I welcome more "Souls-like" games. This game looks intriguing, and of course is a bit rough around the edges with a small team behind it, but overall could turn out good.

Yeah it's still work in progress, I hope they change it so the UI are less clean and sci-fi looking. I'm very curious about the climbing aspects.

Damn, that looks awesome. Feels like Blooodborne meets Shadow of the Collosus meets Nier.

It looks a bit rough in places, but I love the art direction and animation. Amazing looking bosses too.Hopefully they can pull this together.

oooh, the setting looks really neat, Mixing medieval, modern and sci-fi together feels pretty surreal which works for a souls game.

Gameplay looks hella janky though

Oh yeah looks janky, but honestly I might be fine with some jank if they can nail most of the stuff they want to do.

Also this is the Story according to the Kickstarter Page:

Feel the burden of surviving in one of the last remaining outposts of the Forsaken, a legion of hunters condemned to protect the last vestige of humanity. The nature of your purpose however is shrouded in mystery, and as you delve deeper into the manifold halls of the Omnistructure, you will come to find the true meaning of alienation, isolation, and dread. A cross between cyberpunk, and dark fantasy - Bleak Faith will offer a story and experience that will be a breath of fresh air for all gamers looking for a something new. The world is full of lore, and every aspect of it is crafted with utmost passion and a dedication to art. As a baseline there is an estimated 30+ hours of content, a deep class system, and a procedural AI system that ensures that no playthrough is ever the same.

I'm guessing the "Omnistructure" is the big thing in the distance of the gameplay video.

There's inspiration and then there's straight up biting. This shit is b-roll Demon's souls. Convince me otherwise.

Love the sound, the design, and ambience, the music.

The gameplay looks extremely janky, though, which worries me a lot for this sort of title.

like the aesthetic and world design, but the combat lacks any impact, it's very un-souls like. it's like cutting through butter.

Just like the game title, the game also appears to have random stuff thrown about. I see Souls, I see Witcher 3 weapon holstering, I see stealth, I see shadow of colossus, I see Mortal Shell, I see Half Life 2 walking robots, I see Zelda climbing, I see medieval ruins, I see power lines, I see Orienstien's spear attack, I see lots of random things jumbled into a single package.

The effort needs to be appreciated, but that doesn't mean that the game will turn out to be fun.

This looks really neat, if not a little jank. I'll definitely keep my eye on it. I wonder if we'll get any sci-fi weapons.

I'm in for a good Souls/Bloodborne/SOTC copycat, hoping for the best.

For a PC game that camera is annoyingly zoomed in, reminds me of unmodded Dark Souls 3, I hope there's a FOV slider.

Two dudes, $32K from Kickstarter, quite big 3D world and high quality assets, promising procedural AI and 30 hours of content. Hmm seems like biting off more than they can chew. It does look impressive in the trailer, but not sure how the final release will fare.
