Bleak Faith: Forsaken is getting another major update a year after its debut. And this time, it's intended for console players.
Archangel Studios revealed that a console port of the souls-like RPG is underway. The indie devteam made this announcement in a 55-second trailer they dropped on May 15th, 2024. The port expansion will include PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. Release dates for the console versions of Bleak Faith: Forsaken have yet to be revealed.
Bleak Faith: Forsaken first debuted on PC in March 2023. Aside from RPG elements, the game also features open-world and survival horror designs. Prior to its release, the three-man team of Archangel promised to introduce a game that combines 'brutal combat, exploration, and oppressive atmosphere.'
On whatoplay, the 2023 PC title currently has a playscore of 7.2.
In the game, players find themselves in the ruins of a fallen civilization called the Omnistructure. They must guide their cyborg hero to survive in a world full of monstrous beings twisted by a mysterious force.
Upon its release, many gamers and critics agreed that Bleak Faith: Forsaken has the potential to become a big, indie contender in the souls-like genre. However, they pointed out that the game still needed further development.
Bleak Faith: Forsaken received praise for its visuals, designs, and atmospheric experience. However, it fell short in terms of the quality of its gameplay. Some critics even criticized it as nothing but a 'window dressing' with broken souls-like mechanics.
Since then, its developers have rolled out numerous updates. These ranged from fixing bugs to improving the game's overall features. They also launched new contents and even a new mode - a co-op multiplayer.
Presumably, the console versions will launch with all the balance changes, bug fixes, and additional content released on PC. This means console players may have access to a richer, more refined experience from day one.
