Shadow of the Colossus-inspired Action Praey for the Gods Delayed Until April
Action-adventure Praey for the Gods from the studio No Matter was supposed to come out on the PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation, and Xbox One 5 in the first quarter of 2021 (now the game is in an early access Steam). However, the first quarter ends, and therefore the developers have shared fresh information and details. In particular, they plan to launch around the middle or end of April.
The team said: “In Fall 2020, we released a trailer announcing PS 5 and an estimated release date for 1.0 from Early Access in Q1 2021. We are close to this window. In fact, we could have launched in March, perhaps earlier, even with all the problems we were dealing with, but we decided that it was better to polish the game a little more instead of releasing the build in a raw form. So let’s shift our expectations and focus on mid or late April. “
As for the new content coming in version 1.0, No Matter Studios said that it would focus on the final versions of boss battles, which turned out to be a huge achievement for the developers, both from a technical point of view and content. Besides, the team promises a lot from a previously unrealized list of tasks: these are additional story content, missions, and an improvement in the development of the universe and collectibles. In terms of innovation compared to the Early Access version, we are talking about something like an expansion pack for the main game – the studio is very proud of what it has managed to achieve.
Recall: the action of Praey for the Gods takes place in an open world, and the player acts as a lonely heroine, sent to the edge of a dying and frozen world to reveal the secret of endless winter. She has to overcome enormous dangers to restore the balance of the world. “Why doesn’t winter stop? Why didn’t anyone come back? The mysterious drawings left behind to hint at a story that was once thought forgotten. On his way, the hero will face questions that even the gods do not know the answer to, ”the description says.
The ruins of an ancient civilization lie around, and at any moment, snowstorms can begin, which will bury the wanderer. You have to overcome various obstacles and climb huge monsters. At the same time, you can visit almost any place, including ruins and mountains. To discover secrets and treasures, you have to swim – but lingering in cold water is life-threatening. Along the way, you will have to make fires, look for food and items necessary to survive in an eternal winter.
While Praey for the Gods is not announced for the Xbox Series X and S, the developers can not answer whether there will be a version optimized for the new Microsoft consoles or if players will have to be content with backward compatibility with the Xbox One. There are over a thousand responses on the Steam Early Access page of the game, and 87% of them are positive.
