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

As a huge fan, I’m loving how exploring the world really pays off! You find these little pieces everywhere that unlock new abilities, awesome armor, and powerful weapons. Seriously, you need to check everywhere – every nook and cranny, every hidden dungeon. It’s totally worth it to leave no place unexplored!
