Good news, soulslikers - the latest spin on the g♓enre that ꦚeveryone's excited for is coming next month.

That comes from the Xbox Games Showcase at 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Summer Game Fest, where we learn that Flintlock: Siege of Dawn will be released on July 18, just over one month༒ away. The news was revealed with a new trailer that shows off what developer A44 Games is doing with the genre. Alongside magical beings and burning building, you see plenty of soulslike staples, but also that of the action-RPGs genre.

Before the big release date reveal, we caught up with creative director Simon Dasan, who says "Soulslike ♈is so much🤡 more than a combat mechanic."

"It's the world and narrative delivery. It's really stepping into the ꧂mainstream now; it's influencing so many games, even if it's subconscious," he explains, before adding: "We take a lot of inspiration from them, but we also want to move in our own direction. That's how Flintlock got started - 'how can we put our own mark on what it is that we do?' I don't think we want to be stuck to any particular genre."
