Next-Gen Soulslike Game Thymesia Gets Release Date

gamerant.com:

Soulslike games are perhaps more popular now than they have ever been before, largely thanks to the incredible success of FromSoftware's Elden Ring. Fans of the genre who have had their fill of Elden Ring and are hungry for new experiences should keep their eye on Thymesia, which finally has a solid release date.

Thymesia was first revealed last year with a stylish trailer that immediately brought to mind games like Bloodborne and Dark Souls. It features a similar setup as other Soulslike games, with players exploring a bleak world full of dangerous hazards as they engage in intense, challenging combat. However, one key difference separating Thymesia from other Soulslike games is that it will be next-gen only, coming to PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X, but leaving the older consoles behind entirely.

On one hand, this may disappoint those on PS4 and Xbox One who want another Soulslike to play, but on the other hand, it will allow Thymesia to better take advantage of the new consoles' hardware. PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X gamers who are excited to see if the games live up to the hype should mark August 9 on their calendars, as that's when it will finally release to the masses.

Those who can't wait for Thymesia's August 9 release date to roll around should note that they currently have the opportunity to play the game ahead of time. From now until May 9, PC gamers on Steam can check out a limited-time Thymesia demo. The Thymesia demo has controller support as well, so even those who plan on playing it on consoles come August 9 can feel free to check it out and still get a pretty good idea of how it will play on their platform of choice.
