TipsWorks, the studio behind the 2020 action-RPG Pascal's Wager, has revealed Ballad of Antara, a free-to-♚play 1-3 player Soulslike coming to PS5 in 2025.
In case you don't recall Pacal's Wager, it's a Soulslike known mostly for defying expectations for a mo𓆏bile game by being a huge, fleshed-out RPG with a premium price tag instead of opting for the usual free-to-play, microtransaction-addled pricing model. It fared decently on🦩 mobile but its worldwide launch on PC and Switch saw mixed to bad reviews.
Skipping ahead to Ballad of Antara, alඣl I can say at this point is that it's visually quite pretty, if not a bit too similar to Elden Ring and Dark Souls. I mean, it isn't so much quietly confirming itself a proud Soulslike as it is shouting it from the jagged cliffsides of the Lands Between. That said, there are a few different environments in the trailer, and some of them seem a little more original than others.
Curiously, Ballad of Antara is a free-to-play game even thᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚough Tipsworks Studio head Yang Yang ♚describes it as "a new IP, created with the highest fidelity." It also supports co-op play up to three players.
"For this new IP, we set out to create a vast world, both in geological scale and cultural variation. In the normal version of this world, coꦿmmon folk reside," Yang says in a . "In another version of the world, peculiar sightings and encounters await. We call this unimaginable part of the world “Para”. Fundamental essences of the living world are taken away and trapped inside the Para from ღthe invasion of an ancient power, and that’s where our story begins."
The world of Ballad of Antara has been wrought withไ devastation from some unknown calamity, and it's up to you, playing as several playable characters called Emissaries, to fix everything. Apparently, the young girl seen at the end of the trailer is "key" to the mystery.
TipsWorks has been har🌸d at work on Ballad of Antara for four years, and it'll continue supportiဣng the game after launch with new Emissaries, new zones, story expansions, "and more."

That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and wr💃iting about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
