Nacon and developer ACE Team have announced Souls-like martial arts game Clash: Artifacts of Chaos.
Seemingly a successor to 2009’s Zeno Clash, players control the powerful warrior Pseudo. Shunning the civilization of the strange and challenging world of Zenozoik, Pseudo encounters an orphaned creature that can heal wounds, and Gemini- mistress of the Artifacts- in hot pursuit.
Pseudo must now protect the child, and uncover the Artifacts of Chaos. Your battles will be determined by ancient tradition; where dice dictate the rules of battle. Master martial arts, and exploit your foe’s weaknesses with blocks, stuns, dodges, grabs; and keep yourself alive. Take on foes in multiplayer, where Pseudo’s dreams allow up to three players to take on arena combat.
You can find the announcement trailer below.
Clash: Artifacts of Chaos launches June 2022 on Windows PC (via Epic Games Store, and Steam), PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
