Developer Shadowfall Studios last week announced that their first-person action debut title ‘The Nightscarred: Forgotten Gods’ will be coming to PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series consoles. An immersive sim compared to the likes of Arkane’s ‘Dark Messiah of Might and Magic’, players will craft their own spells and crush their foes in fast-paced combat with a setting rich in Turkic mythology. Cooperative play will be available as well. No date has been announced at this time.

Shadowfall Studios is excited to announce its debut title, “The Nightscarred: Forgotten Gods”, planned for release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. This groundbreaking title brings a fresh approach to the immersive first-person action genre, combining a powerful spellcrafting system with hybrid combat mechanics that allow players to wield crafted magical abilities and melee weapons independently. With its rich Turkic mythology setting, players will explore a rarely seen lore in the gaming market.
“Our top priority is to give players freedom on how they want to play in this immersive action experience”, says Shadowfall Studios’ Co-founder and Gameplay Programmer, Doğa Can Yanıkoğlu. “In The Nightscarred: Forgotten Gods, we give players the ability to craft their own magical abilities, and leave them the creativity of how to combine them with melee combat mechanics. The best part? You can do that either alone, or with your friend in co-op playthrough.”
