“By association, we thought about music boxes and their little mechanical ballerinas,” Rousseau writes. Recent days and weeks have seen Spiders and publishing Nacon revealing more new details on the game, and in a newly published post on the official PlayStation Blog, Spiders CEO Jehanne Rousseau revealed more about Steelrising’s protagonist Aegis, and what we can expect from her in terms of combat, traversal, and more.Īs an automaton, Aegis is capable of rebuilding herself at will and improving her mechanics as the game progressing, which, according to Rousseau, “fits well for an action-oriented “soulslike” game, where death is an integral part of the learning curve.” Rousseau describer her as an “agile and elegant” character, saying that her inherent grace allowed Spiders to “incorporate fast-paced, aerial gameplay elements, and verticality” in Steelrising.

From its alternate history French Revolution setting to its fascinating narrative concept to its promise of blistering Soulslike mechanics and combat, the game is clearly looking more than a little promising.

Spiders’ upcoming Soulslike action RPG Steelrisingis a game that many have had their eye on for quite some time.
