Sony has announced The Godslayera new steampunk fantasy role-playing game (RPG) from My time in Portia studio, Pathea Games.
Coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and PC, The Godslayer is an Eastern-inspired third-person open-world game that features customizable elemental combat and a 40-hour campaign set on a world ruled by gods known as the Celestials.
“Long ago, the god-like celestial bodies created the human world and all living things in it, designing everything to cultivate a powerful force known as ‘Qi’ to fuel their eternal life. In this new age, humanity has learned to channel that same qi energy into elemental forces, channeling fire, water, earth, metal, and wood through the fluid description, martial.”
“Outraged that their divine energy is being used by mere mortals, the Celestials set a brutal example for humanity by conquering the strongest kingdom in the land in a single night – hunting down and killing the king and the kingdom’s elementals. An event remembered as the Fall of God.”
In the story, you play as an Elemancer, an elemental magic user named Cheng, who embarks on a journey to defeat the Celestials after losing his family. A new CGI trailer has also been released, which you can watch below.

First revealed as part of Sony Interactive Entertainment’s China Hero Project at ChinaJoy in 2023, The Godslayer is of a much darker tone than Pathea’s previous life sim games.
With freeform RPG gameplay, the game also offers fully customizable elemental abilities that allow players to combine water, earth, metal, and fire to create powerful attacks and weapons, an explorable capital and urban metropolis named Zhou, quests that can be reached in multiple ways, factions, and more.
“Thematically, The Godslayer is a big departure from what Pathea is known for, the My Time series,” said Zifei Wu, founder and creative director at Pathea. “But we’ve made several open-world RPGs before, filled with beloved characters and varied systems for players to experiment with and flourish.
“The Godslayer has all that and more with our talented development team attempting something darker and more serious in tone, bolstered by exciting elemental combat at its core.”
The Godslayer doesn’t have a release window yet, but it’s available on Steam wishlist.
