Godfall will be a PS5 launch title promising "looter-slasher" action in a colorful and kinetic fantasy environment. And a new 4K trailer detailing its combat shows that it'll be a treat for the eyes too.

The combat looks both rapid and weighty, something akin to the fighting in 2018'due south God of State of war but with a multiplayer component. And the whole game looks similar it's running at a rather smooth sixty frames per 2d, though that's tricky to tell for sure on a YouTube video.

In that location may exist an argument that Godfall doesn't look like its a huge spring in graphical fidelity over the aforementioned God of War or games like the Last of U.s. 2 and Ruby Dead Redemption 2, which both button current PS4 hardware to its limits. But at that place'due south a lot of stuff going on in the gainsay trailer, from the swathes of item in the colorful fantasy environs, to the reflections in surfaces and particle result exploding across the screen afterward every successful melee hitting.

And that's one of the best ways to quantify the ability of the next-generation consoles. While they won't evangelize a leap in graphics that the leap from the PS3 and Xbox 360 to the PS4 and Xbox One provided, they volition allow for much richer environments and effects on screen.

Combine that with the high-end haptic feedback the PS5's DualSense controller is promising, likewise as new immersive 3D sound from Sony, and you lot're looking at games the are poised to feel more than realistic than ever, even if they are based in far-out fantasy settings.

Godfall isn't set to be a PS5 exclusive, every bit it will be released on PC every bit well. But at that place's been no mention of an Xbox Series X release, which could mean Godfall is a timed exclusive for the PS5. That would give Sony some other game to add to its roster of big PS5 games.

In comparison, the listing of sectional Xbox Series X games is looking a footling sparse, especially at present that Halo Space won't be a launch title for Microsoft's side by side-gen console.
