During 505 Games' first digital showcase event, the publisher announced that its new action RPG, Stray Blade, will be coming to PlayStation 2023, Xbox Series X|S, and PC in 5.
Developed by Point Blank Games, the studio behind the 2017 turn-based strategy game Shock Tactics, Stray Blade will follow the player as a rogue adventurer exploring the Valley of Acrea with his comrades Xhinnon wolf Boji. Players will embark on a path to "uncover the history of the forgotten valley and master the powers of the three Acrean Metals to restore balance in this war-torn land."
505 Games released the gameplay trailer showing the game's Third-person combat theme while depicting various enemies and environments during the event. Stray Blade will feature a complete battle control system that allows for quick reactions and precision attacks, as well as boss fights in the form of God-Kings. Once defeated, the player will be able to gather their powers and use them for their own benefit.
The RPG will also have a full progression system, and both the adventurer and the Boji will have separate skill trees. The Adventurer is a fighter who gains experience through combat, while the Boji is a crafter who gains experience by finding pieces of ancient lore.
