The members of Legion Studio have previously worked on the Halo, Battlefield, Destiny, and DOOM franchises, so they have a wealth of first-person shooter experience.
Covenant is a dark fantasy, first-person combat, spellcasting, and shooter game with campaign, co-op, and player-versus-player gameplay. It is a first-person shooter Soulslike. Explore a vast interconnected and hand-curated world, passing through kingdoms and peril-discovering fighting stances, spells, weapons and equipment forged by the men of renown, heroes of old. Experience creation through the eyes of the last living messenger-a warrior angel sent to carry out the will of the Composers. The oldest of your kind, Malach, has fallen into the abyss, leaving a trail of destruction in his wake. You must follow in the footsteps of his final days to uncover the nature of his fall – and in doing so, reveal the dormant powers within Creation.
Creation is a vast and interconnected land of myth. Discover shortcuts, use keys, and explore hidden paths to uncover every last secret. Creatures of fallen empires and long lost heroes stand in your way. Some require strategy. Some require weapons. Some demand a duel. Still others must be challenged with friends. The road is long and arduous-be creative. The path is often blocked. You must find another. Relics lost to time are yours to claim-if you can find them. Exploration is worthy. Become a messenger of death as weapons are upgraded, spells grow stronger, and combat stances reveal themselves.
Kick, grab, roll, and execute anyone who gets in your way. Skillfully pivot your slide around corners and down slopes, kick or jump off walls, and alternate between rolling and side-stepping in intimate duels. These are easy to use, but take time to master. Battle other players for glory in one-on-one, two-on-two, and three-on-three arenas. Each weapon can be upgraded multiple times to unlock hidden abilities, traits, and catalysts. Soulslike’s one-handed/two-handed system is present, changing the attributes of every gun, sword, and tool at your disposal.
Change hand shapes to adapt your fighting style to the situation and hone your own creative play style. Using two hands unlocks powerful weapon abilities, but makes you less agile. Stances don’t just change your elemental affinity – they change your entire fighting style, down to the way you run, jump, kick, and slide. Each stance play style is drastically different. And each can take a lifetime to master. Spells and auras can be cast to change the course of battle. Each spell can be charged, and each aura can be cast in multiple ways to best suit the situation. Powerful build options between four ring slots, stances, weapons, spells, robes, catalysts, and more.
Covenant, which runs on Unreal Engine 5, has an unknown release date. It is in development for PC.
