The next game from Spiders has six minutes of gameplay (and it’s still a bit raw, to say the least).

The new video of the action RPG is commented by Jehanne Rousseau (CEO, co-founder of Spiders and lead writer of Steelrising), Sebastien Di Ruzza (design director) and Ciaran Cresswell (head of localisation). It is published by Game Informer has confirmed that the game has been moved from its previously planned June release date: the game, which will be a slight reimagining of historical events from the developers of GreedFall, will arrive a quarter of a year later for next-generation consoles and PC.

According to the game’s Steam page, “Paris, 1789. The city is in the grip of terror. The Revolution was suppressed with bloodshed by Louis XVI and his merciless mechanical army. It falls to Aegis, an engineering marvel, to take on the king’s ranks of automatons and change the course of history. Combine Aegis’s strength and speed with your skill to fight robot armies and change the course of history!

A unique and mysterious heroine: as Paris burns and bleeds during the Revolution, you are Aegis, an automaton masterpiece made by Vaucanson, an engineer in the service of the Clockwork King. Make the most of your mechanical prowess to adapt Aegis to your style of play and become a fearsome warrior, a deadly dancer or a virtuoso of elemental arts. Dynamic and challenging gameplay: engage in brutal and intense fights against technological marvels that are as complex as unforgiving. Your nerves and skills will be tested to their limits at every moment spent battling these relentless enemies and epic bosses.

Paris is your playground: the City of Light has been plunged into darkness and needs you. Use your energy, flexibility, and tools to navigate Paris’s streets, rooftops, neighbourhoods, and castles and reveal hidden secrets. A fascinating story rooted in history: delve into an enthralling alternate history filled with formidable mechanical enemies and potential allies with questionable motives. You are the only one you can count on to untangle the knots of history and ensure the Revolution succeeds!”

Steelrising is coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and PC on September 8 (Steam, GOG, Epic Games Store). Don’t expect a PlayStation 4 and an Xbox One version.
