Remember SINNER: Sacrifice for Redemption developer Dark Star’s next title, Daba: Land of Water Scar? After a relatively low-key presence for years, it finally has a Spring 2027 release window for PS5. Check out the new trailer highlighting the game’s combat and ethereal art style.
New story details have also been revealed, particularly about the protagonist. While we know he’s a clay puppet, it seems his awakening was never meant to occur. But with the Axis of the Worlds in ruins and the titular land of Daba suffering from thirst, it’s up to you. What can you do to turn things around? Well, that’s another matter entirely.
At your disposal are dual curved swords for taking on all in your path. However, it seems the player can also wield a two-handed cudgel, which should help inflict some blunt force trauma against tougher enemies. Other weapons include swords and shields, a single sword, and much more. Amid all this, you’re learning more about your identity.
Daba: Land of Water Scar’s Souls-like properties are apparent, especially in its non-linear, interconnected levels, but it looks suitably more fast-paced and dynamic. Stay tuned for more details and gameplay in the coming months, and a proper release date.
