The trailer for 'Bleak Faith: Forsaken' promises a new 'Soulslike' indie game coming later this year. Watch now:
It has been over a decade since the breakout success of Dark Souls and in that time the sub-genre of "Soulslike" games have been constantly growing. From fairy tales like the upcoming Lies of P to all the sequels from FromSoftware themselves, the genre seems to always have a new title added to its ever-growing list. One of the games that will be throwing their hat into the mix is Bleak Faith: Forsaken, a Kickstarter game that comes from indie developer Archangel Studios.
Bleak Faith: Forsaken was first revealed with a short teaser trailer in February 2019 with the Kickstarter officially starting in July of the same year. Since then, the team has been providing updates on both the Kickstarter page as well as the game's official YouTube channel, including a 12-minute gameplay showcase back in November 2020 and another nine-minute vertical slice in July 2021. There have also been further, shorter updates being shown off since then.
