Alterborn is being touted as, according to PlayStation’s YouTube channel, “a unique blend of Soulslike, roguelike, looter shooter and more.” That description feels like it would be a nod to something like Borderlands. Nevertheless, Alterborn has a reveal trailer available to view, and you can watch it below. Maybe the game’s focus can become clearer once you see it in action:
Alterborn’s trailer shows a hooded figure walking through an abandoned building, with pulsating red vein-like roots covering various structures. Going further inside, the hooded character uncovers a tree that looks like it’s the origin point of the roots, and as they prepare to loot it, are attacked by a monster. Alterborn has some information further disclosed in the video description, according to PlayStation. That information reads as follows: Given what’s shown as of current, the game doesn’t have in-engine gameplay, as this is more of a cinematic trailer style. Gamesradar, on the reveal live stream, disclosed that the upcoming third-person shooter will be released in 2023. We’ll continue to update as more information for the game is released. Alterborn will be released on PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam sometime in 2023. You can add the game to your Steam wishlist here.
