The 2019 Video Game Awards gave gamers a lot of teasers for 2020—namely the first PlayStation 5 exclusive game, Godfall. Since then, there really haven’t been a lot of details regarding the game. However, that all changed with the most recent edition of the Official PlayStation Magazine, which had Godfall as a feature piece.
Early gameplay has left commentators comparing Godfall to Monster Hunter: World and the Dark Souls franchise. The game appears to focus on heavy melee and rewards aggressive attacks. Trailers from when the game was announced showed gamers a Dark Souls-esque focus on cool armor and medieval weapons.
The graphics are stunning on this game, and it was revealed that the previously seen gameplay was from a PC playthrough, not a PlayStation 5. This leaves all of us with the question, how good is this game going to look on the PS5 and new PCs. If the trailer is any indication, it will be amazing, given that the PS5 gave specs that would exceed PCs from the time when the trailer was first recorded.
It has also been reported that some of the developers who worked Destiny 2 are also working on Godfall, which would be interesting to see if further details will show Godfall with some Destiny references as well. Destiny 2, Monster Hunter: World and Dark Souls are all good games in their own right, so taking influences from all three will be a challenge.
This game leaves all of us with great expectations for this first look at what we can expect from the PS5. Counterplay Games, the makers of Godfall, have certainly roused the interest of gamers everywhere with this month’s feature. Godfall has not been given an official release date; however, given the fact it is the first PlayStation 5 exclusive game, it seems likely that the release should be around the same time as the console. More importantly, more details, please!
