Spiders Studio has unveiled its next big title called Steelrising, published by Nacon and coming to PS5, Xbox Series X and PC. Though no release date was provided, a teaser trailer has been released. It’s essentially alternative history France with robots. We can dig it.

The story is about Aegis, a robotic bodyguard for Queen Marie-Antoinette, and her quest to stop the mad King Louis XVI. In order to suppress the revolution, the king has been unleashing all kinds of killer robots. Armed to the teeth, Aegis will venture across famous monuments and landmarks while battling all manner of murderbots.

Taking a more action-heavy approach, Steelrising will also encourage more vertical exploration. One example is climbing a balcony and happening upon a secret passage for another location. More than seven families of weapons have been created, ranging from light and heavy weapons to rifles for long-range. Aegis will also earn unique gear and items by completing side quests with Spiders working to make the world as “deep and varied as possible.”

Stay tuned for more details on Steelrising in the coming months.

Spiders and Focus Home Interactive’s The Technomancer, the exciting science fiction RPG set on Mars, will be launching this Summer, on June 21, for Xbox One, PS4, and PC. The game will see players take on the vast Martian wastelands, and the dangers and threats held within, in a highly nuanced and deep RPG.

“You’ll meet Zachariah, a rookie Technomancer from Abundance, one of the powerful corporations on the red planet. Technomancers are formidable warriors harnessing destructive electrical powers channelled through their implants,” said Spiders Studio CEO and creative director Jeanne Rousseau , explaining the story.

“Your journey starts at Ophir, capital of Abundance, erected from the remains of the first human settlements in the Ophir Chasma. Picking from three combat stances, you’ll be able to specialize your style of play, making use of the Technomancer’s special electrical abilities to buff yourself or actively attack the many monsters roaming the red planet.”

Check out what the game will be like with the new gameplay trailer below for yourself.

Everything from fireballs and swords to maces and two handed axes has been shown off in the video. And it has to be said that, having seen it, it looks very reminiscent of the Dark Souls and Demon’s Souls games. The combat looks similar in nature and style and the game itself looks similar to the Souls titles in terms of its innate nature. We, of course, are gleaning all this from a short gameplay video, so consider this as more of an observation.

Take a look at the video above, you’ll find that it’s quite interesting.

Spiders Studio has released a new video for Mars: War Logs. The video is an overview one and shows the origins of the game.

The game is an RPG in which player choices leave their mark on the story and its unfolding.

“Spiders Studio really wanted to offer total freedom to the players who will have to face the consequences of their decisions through dialogues, through choosing their skills, with their behaviour toward their companions, or even through the equipment and upgrades they decide to craft,” the press release reads.

“Players will be forced to take responsibility for their actions: for example, slaying human opponents after a battle will be an advantagous source of income… but will also make many characters wary of you!”
