Dark fantasy action game Tsarevna announced for PC

Developers at Watt Games, creators of “Hannah’s Day”, have unveiled their upcoming project titled “Tsarevna“. This ominous fantasy action game set in the third-person perspective is slated for release on PC via Steam in the year 2026.

Here is an overview of the game, via Watt Games:

About

As a captivated admirer, I’d describe Tsarevna as an exhilarating, third-person action game that masterfully merges the precision of swordplay with the grace and fluidity of classical ballet. This enchanting experience unfolds within a hauntingly beautiful dark fantasy realm steeped in Slavic folklore.

Characters assume the identity of the Tsarevna, a youthful warrior and an heir to a defunct dynasty. Equipped with a magical sword fashioned from raw emotion, she combats countless mythical beings such as wraiths, mermaids, woodland spirits in her pursuit of vengeance and uncovering the truth amidst a world that bears the scars of an ancient disaster long since forgotten.

Combat is a Dance

The fundamental fighting mechanism of Tsarevna is constructed based on motion-captured movements from acclaimed ballerina Alyona Kovalyova, a principal dancer at the Bolshoi Ballet. Each spin, jump, and strike exudes balletic finesse, transforming each battle into a lethal dance performance.

A Story Forged from Ashes

In the wake of a bleak and shattered period, the game Tsarevna takes you on an adventure through magical and abandoned lands—from the gloom of the Underworld to the lofty domains of Iriy in the sky. During this voyage, players will encounter ancient gods, unearth the Tsarevna’s long-lost history, and reveal the price of possessing power that originates from sorrow and elegance.

Key Features

  • The first ballet-inspired slasher game, blending folklore and fine art.
