Exciting news for gamers as the upcoming party-based Soulslike game Deathbound confirms its launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. The highly anticipated title was recently showcased at the Steam Next Fest, introducing players to its innovative party system within the Soulslike genre. Now, Tate Multimedia and Trialforge Studio have revealed that the action RPG will also be hitting console platforms.

Deathbound stands out as the first-ever party-based Soulslike game. While players control a single character in battle, the game incorporates a unique party mechanic that allows for seamless switching between 4 distinct characters during combat, each possessing a unique skillset. To diversify their roster, players must absorb essences from defeated foes, ranging from fierce warriors to agile martial artists.

Following the positive reception of Deathbound's demo on Steam, Tate Multimedia has officially announced the game's upcoming release on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X later this year. Although an exact launch date is yet to be disclosed, the developers assure a simultaneous release on PC as well. For those eager to get a taste of the action, a demo of Deathbound is currently available on Steam.

Deathbound is set in the captivating realm of Ziêminal, a world that seamlessly blends ancient technology with a medieval backdrop. Players find themselves amidst a clash between the Church of Death and the Cult of Life, embroiled in conflict with a mysterious third faction that challenges the balance between faith and science. Building a party comprising members from rival factions can dramatically impact gameplay, introducing buffs or debuffs that add complexity to the Soulslike experience.

While many Soulslike games are known for their steep difficulty curve, some developers continually seek ways to enhance the gaming experience. For instance, a recent update to Lords of the Fallen introduced modifiers that transform the base game into a challenging roguelite adventure.

Conversely, the developers of Lies of P faced backlash after implementing an update that eased the game's difficulty levels, sparking debates within the gaming community about the inclusion of an 'easy mode' in Soulslike titles. This ongoing discussion resurfaces each time a new Soulslike game gains attention in the gaming world.
