Co-publishers 3D Realms and Fulqrum Publishing and developer Slipgate Ironworks announced a full release date for GRAVEN.
Their dark fantasy shooter is finally leaving early access for PC (via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store) on January 23rd, 2024. Console ports for Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Switch, PS4, and PS5 will come after.
Here’s a rundown on the game, plus a new trailer:
A faithful priest of the Orthogonal order, exiled unto death for a crime in defense of another, you live again in a small boat, adrift in a swamp. A stranger ferries you to solid ground and bestows upon you vague instructions, along with a mysterious staff and book. Go forth, pious priest, alleviate suffering, uncover deceptions, and smash the eldritch perversions encroaching upon reality itself.
A marriage between modern development tools and techniques with a stark late 90s aesthetic bring the action first person puzzler GRAVEN to life, featuring character designs by Chuck Jones (Duke Nukem 3d, Half-Life) and the voice talent of Stephan Weyte (Blood, Fire Emblem, Dusk) in a dark yet distinct medieval fantasy experience.
