It’s currently confirmed for release exclusively on PS5 and PC via theEpic Games Storeduring the 2020 holiday season. However, Counterplay’s website previously stated it was in development for “next-gen consoles,” suggesting anXbox Series Xcould also be on the cards.
The Godfall development team is comprised of around 75 people with experience working on the Ratchet & Clank series,God of War,Destiny2,Horizon Zero Dawn, Diablo III,Gears 5, Star Wars Battlefront,Titanfall 2, Left 4 Dead 2, Evolve,Halo5, Battlefield 3, BioShock Infinite, Call of Duty, Injustice 2 andOverwatch.
Counterplay Games CEO Keith Lee told thePlayStation Blogin December that Godfall will includea strong focus on co-operative gameplayand be playable in solo, duo or trio.
“Our goal with Godfall is to reforge fantasy ARPG-style loot progression and third-person melee combat into a whole new genre: The Looter-Slasher,” he said.
“Namely, our game is uniquely one-part gear driven and one-part player-skill driven. Godfall retains the desire for offense-oriented, mastery-driven combat, rewarding you with head-turning, powerful loot that then inspires your next set of character builds.”
Players will be able to take on “satisfying one-against-many enemy encounters along with challenging head-to-head boss fights” individually or with up to two other players.
“Godfall’s designed from the ground up with co-op in mind,” Lee said. “You can play the entire game in solo, duo or trio. Your enemies will respond dynamically, mutating their behavior and attack patterns based on your group size. Our goal for co-op is stronger together, and fun for all.”
