3D Realms and Fulqrum Publishing’s Retro-Inspired Shooter Launches Today

GRAVEN, the highly anticipated dark fantasy first-person shooter from 3D Realms and Fulqrum Publishing, has finally made its way to Xbox Series X|S. Developed by Slipgate Ironworks™, this action-packed adventure promises to blend classic FPS gameplay with fantastical RPG elements, offering a unique experience for console players.

A Tale of Vengeance and Redemption

Players will step into the robes of an Exiled Priest of the Orthogonal Order, embarking on a divine mission to purge corruption from within the ranks. Guided by the Creator’s will, your journey will take you through dark and treacherous lands as you seek to vanquish encroaching evils and save the world from impending doom.

Gameplay Features

• Expansive Hub Worlds: Explore three distinct areas filled with secrets and side quests.
• Versatile Combat: Wield both magic and weapons, upgrading your arsenal as you progress.
• Puzzle-Solving: Face tricky challenges that require both wit and creativity.
• Diverse Enemies: Battle against over 20 unique foes and formidable boss encounters.
• Multiplayer Mayhem: Take on the campaign solo or team up with up to 8 players in online co-op.

A Pedigree of Talent

GRAVEN boasts an impressive lineup of industry veterans contributing to its development. Character designs come courtesy of Chuck Jones, known for his work on iconic titles like Duke Nukem 3D and Half-Life. Adding to the atmosphere is the vocal talent of Stephan Weyte, whose distinctive voice gamers may recognise from classics such as Blood and more recent hits like Dusk.

Retro Aesthetics, Modern Gameplay

While GRAVEN draws inspiration from classic first-person shooters, it aims to offer a fresh experience by incorporating RPG elements. Players can experiment with various spell and ability combinations, encouraging creative problem-solving throughout their journey.

Release Details

GRAVEN is available now on Xbox Series X|S, priced at £23.99. The game also supports Xbox One, allowing players on the previous generation console to join in the dark fantasy action.

With its blend of retro-inspired gameplay and modern sensibilities, GRAVEN looks set to offer Xbox players a unique FPS experience. Its dark fantasy setting and emphasis on both combat and exploration could make it a standout title for fans of the genre. As always, we’ll reserve final judgment until we’ve had hands-on time with the game, but the pedigree of talent involved and the promising feature set certainly make GRAVEN one to watch.
