Legion Studio, a team that consists of former Halo, Call of Duty, Destiny and Doom devs, has announced its new game, Covenant. Covenant is a first-person dark fantasy combat game, and you can find its first gameplay trailer below.
Covenant will feature a Metroidvania / Soulslike world. Players will explore a large interconnected and hand-curated world. Moreover, they will discover fighting stances, spells, weapons, and new gear to equip their characters.
The following gameplay trailer gave me Painkiller and Dark Messiah of Might and Magic vibes. This is a good thing as I really loved those games. However, I am not that fond of the color filter used here. The game can also feel a bit disoriented.
Covenant will be using Unreal Engine 5, and the following gameplay footage is from a pre-alpha build. As such, it does not represent the quality of the final product. Still, it can give you a glimpse at what the devs aim to achieve.
Although there is no ETA on when the game will come out, the devs shared some generic PC requirements. According to them, you’ll at least need a 1st Gen Ryzen or 7th Gen Intel with 8GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660. Legion Studio recommends a 3rd Gen Ryzen or 10th Gen Intel with 8GB of RAM and an NVIDIA RTX 3060. These are early preliminary PC specs. As such, we’ll get more detailed PC specs closer to the game’s launch.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
