The Relic: First Guardian launches July 31 for PS5 and PC

Korean developer Project Cloud Games has confirmed that their dark fantasy action-RPG, The Relic: First Guardian, will launch on July 31 for PlayStation 5 and PC, with Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch 2 releases scheduled for later this summer. The Soulslike title has attracted attention for its fast combat and detailed character designs.

Players will control a guardian tasked with gathering fragments of a shattered relic to restore light to a ruined world. The gameplay features standard Soulslike loops: challenging boss fights, stamina-based combat, and deep build customization options using different weapon classes. The summer release window gives action-RPG fans a new title to tackle before the busy fall season.

The Relic: First Guardian represents another high-profile project coming from Korea's growing game development scene, which has produced several notable action titles recently. Providing a staggered release across consoles and PC helps the developer manage optimization demands for different platforms. Soulslike fans will want to monitor reviews to see if the game delivers on its promising combat mechanics.
