Inspired by Korean Folktales and Legends

Get a taste of the innovative gameplay, compelling story, and exciting combat coming in The Relic: First Guardian with this eight-minute preview. Explore Arsiltus, a continent steeped in ancient lore where every battle and moment is connected to a larger, intricate story. This is a truly unique experience waiting to be discovered.

Bosses are Brutals

The game features 70 challenging bosses, known as “Brutals,” each with a heartbreaking backstory. To defeat them, you’ll need to become skilled in a flexible combat system, combining weapons, magic, and abilities that fit how you like to play. Careful stamina management is key – every block and dodge matters! When you defeat a Brutal, The Last Guardian learns their story and gains powerful items and upgrades to help you continue your journey.

Progression is Environmental

Seriously, you need to check everywhere – every nook and cranny, every hidden dungeon. It’s totally worth it to leave no place unexplored!
