Bloodborne on PC? Thymesia Looks Close Enough and Will Launch This Year

Team17 and OverBorder Studio presented a trailer for their new RPG with soulslike elements - Thymesia. The game will launch later in 2021.

IN A NUTSHELL:
  1. A gameplay trailer for Thymesia , a new indie soulslike game that resembles Bloodborne, has appeared online;
  2. The title will be coming to PC in the later part of 2021.

Team17 has published a trailer for a new action RPG titled Thymesia. Independent team at OverBorder Studio is responsible for the development and it will be its debut on the gaming market. Admittedly, the devs have been teasing the game on their twitter account for some time, but only now we received a full-fledged (and by the way - not bad looking) trailer. See for yourselves:

The title will combine elements characteristic of the soulslike genre, i.e. parrying, characteristic dodging and demanding fights with huge bosses, and hack'n'slash, i.e. performing complex combinations of attacks and using special combat skills. Some internet users have noticed that the style of Themesia resembles a bit the dark, gothic atmosphere known for example from Bloodborne.

The game also received its page on Steam, thanks to which we got to know some interesting details about the plot and gameplay. We'll play as Corvus, who will try to find out the reasons for the collapse of the kingdom struck by an alchemical disaster. The story will also affect the mechanics, because the theme of the plague will be used to acquire diseases, which can serve as a dangerous weapon. It is also known that the devs will enable players to progress their characters and customize their fighting style to their preferences.

Thymesia will offer several different endings depending on our choices made during the game. The release is planned only for PC. We'll play the title in 2021 (Steam even suggests a specific date, December 31, but it may be a placeholder).

Then he interpreted Iranian dramas and the Joker, writing for cinematography journal, which, sadly, no longer exists. His writing credentials include a degree in film studies, but his thesis was strictly devoted to video games. He has been writing for Gamepressure since March 2020, first writing a lot about movies, then in the newsroom, and eventually, he became a specialist in everything. He currently edits and writes articles and features. A long-time enthusiast of the most bizarre indie games and arthouse cinema. He idolizes surrealism and postmodernism. He appreciates the power of absurdity. Which is probably why he also tried soccer refereeing for 2 years (with so-so results). He tends to over-philosophize, so watch out.
