July 25th, 2024 - Tate Multimedia and Trialforge Studio are excited to announce that a playable demo for Deathbound, the dynamic single-player party-based soulslike, is now available on Steam and PlayStation 5. Form alliances with fallen warriors using the innovative 4-hero party system and band together to defeat appalling creatures and enemies. Gear up as Deathbound slashes its way onto PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S on August 8th, 2024.
 

Step into the unforgiving realm of Ziêminal, a harsh world where Faith clashes with Science. In this decaying landscape, Deathbound throws a fresh twist on the punishing soulslike genre. You are not alone in your fight for survival. Embrace the power of the fallen by absorbing the Essence of defeated warriors. Each warrior boasts unique skills, combat styles, and captivating backstories, offering a diverse range of abilities at your disposal.

Deathbound breaks the mold with its innovative 4-hero party system. Dynamically switch between fallen warriors mid-combat, adapting your tactics and unleashing devastating attacks. The dynamics between these characters significantly impact gameplay, leading to different outcomes and status effects depending on your actions. Pairing characters from opposing factions can create discord, altering combat effects. Aligning warriors with shared beliefs unlocks powerful buffs, which can turn the tide of battle in your favor.
 

  Key Features:

  • The Essence - Gain the skills, memories and identities of fallen warriors throughout the world. Combine their unique personalities and combat styles and switch between them seamlessly. 

  • Party System - The essences you absorb form your party. Deathbound features a robust party system that allows you to craft a playstyle through talent trees. Switch between fallen warriors to harness their skills and abilities. Each party member’s affiliation in life will affect their synergy in death. 

  • Dynamic Morphing - Unleash the combined powers of fallen warriors with devastating Morphstrikes. Utilize different attack styles to pull off powerful combinations and finishing blows to defeat all who oppose you. 

  • Brutal World - Ziêminal is a world that mixes a technological past and a medieval present, home to diverse cultures. The city of Akratya is rich in lore and dangers. Explore a city falling into ruin under the shadow of a grand crusade. With its imposing brutalist architecture and melding of technology, it’s a city bound for oblivion.  

  • Unforgiving Monsters and Bosses - Face challenging enemies crafted to push you to your limits. Their very nature is based on the five stages of grief, with each new encounter commanding the attention of any soul who dares face them.
