Hyperstrange has announced the release date for their first-person melee combat game, ELDERBORN.

The game hit Steam Early Access in October 2018, and will be getting a full release on January 30th, 2020. It will be coming to consoles sometime in 2020 as well.

ELDERBORN is inspired by classic ’90s shooters and the cult hit Dark Messiah of Might and Magic, and focuses on exploration and brutal, skill-driven melee combat. You can find a trailer for the game above.

Here’s a rundown of the game:

ELDERBORN is a skill-based slasher infused with ancient heavy metal melee combat. Slice your way through an adventure inspired by the cult classics of the FPP genre and relive the old-school feeling of a game that doesn’t hold your hand.

Imagine a dungeon, a dungeon full of evil and corruption that needs to be put down back to sleep. A mysterious ancient ruin full of deadly traps, vicious monsters, and omnipresent death. Now visualize yourself – you’re a warrior, you’re huge, and you certainly know how to fight.

Ready to take on the challenge that will bring back your best memories of heroic fantasy classics? Well, in that case – welcome to ELDERBORN.

You’ll love the game if:

• you’re a sucker for skill-based melee combat and a subscriber of the GIT GUD philosophy of gaming
• you’re sick of procedurally-generated content and for a change you would like to explore extensive, hand-designed, devious dungeons
• you feel that ending a life of an enemy with a well-placed kick is something that’s been missing from your life
• you always wanted to find out how DOOM would feel if it had swords and a warhammer instead of guns
• you miss the old-school feel of a game that does not hold your hand
• you pray at the altars of Dio, Lemmy and other mighty Gods of Metal
