Covenant Gets a New Trailer Showcasing its Dark Fantasy World and Souls-Like FPS Gameplay

The forthcoming first-person shooter titled “Covenant” has just released a new trailer. During the latest Galaxies showcase, we got a sneak peek into the ominous atmosphere of this game, along with quick glimpses of its detailed levels and rapid-fire battles. Take a look at it below.

Covenant is being created by Legion Studios – a team of experts who have previously worked on prominent games such as DOOM and Call of Duty. Their experience is evident in the trailer’s snippets, featuring intense weapons that seem to provide ample response for the player to feel the impact of their use.

In simpler terms, the developers have depicted the universe of Covenant as a vast, interwoven world where players will find themselves in perpetual motion, traveling through different kingdoms and their concealed depths. Notably, the developers have acknowledged that Souls-style games served as inspiration for designing the game’s levels. In this game, players can uncover secret passages by solving puzzles or discovering shortcuts.

From the standpoint of gameplay, it appears that Covenant is drawing inspiration from classic shooter games such as Hexen. The player’s inventory will consist of both heavy melee weapons, which can be upgraded to different fighting styles, and ranged combat options including firearms and mystical spells.

The studio’s FAQ published in December indicated that the combat in ‘Covenant’ will offer a greater level of depth and innovation compared to what players are accustomed to in most shooter games. Throughout gameplay, players will combine martial arts, magic, and ancient weaponry to defeat their adversaries. The developers have stated that ‘Covenant’s melee combat will incorporate mechanics influenced by fighting games such as ‘Tekken’ and ‘Super Smash Bros.’, as well as from immersive sims like ‘Dishonored’ and ‘Dark Messiah of Might and Magic’.

In the game, weapons discovered by players can undergo multiple enhancements, not just once. This not only boosts their efficiency but also reveals hidden features, talents, and triggers. In the game Covenant, we’re borrowing a tactic from Souls games, enabling players to choose which weapons they want to wield in each hand for more diverse combat styles.

Additional advancements will come in various forms, one of which is unlocking diverse combat postures that significantly modify a player’s fighting style. This encompasses not only the way they perform fundamental actions like running, jumping, kicking, and sliding, but also how they execute these actions. Furthermore, these stances will provide varying elemental alignments as well.

The game titled Covenant is planned to offer an online multiplayer experience as well. Players can join forces in the campaign mode for cooperative play, collaborating to advance together through the game. Additionally, there will be multiple competitive multiplayer options available, featuring specialized arenas for one-on-one, two-versus-two, or even three-versus-three matches.

As of now, there’s no set launch date for the game known as “Covenant”. However, a PC edition is being worked on, which will eventually be accessible via Steam upon its release.
