By 2024, my Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom buzz will possibly have actually waned a little, which bodes well for Monolith: Requiem of the Ancients, due to the fact that it’s obtained hack-and-slash Zelda feelings composed around it.

Monolith is an indie activity RPG presently in the jobs by Columbian programmer C2 Game Studio and also was revealed at the ID@Xbox showcase previously today. Sadly however, it hasn’t belonged of Xbox’s Summer Game Demo Fest (that finishes tomorrow), which is a pity as fight looks incredibly slick and also I’d have actually liked to attempt it out.

According to the game’s trailer, Monolith occurs in a globe called Gliese 1,000 years after a mass termination “ravaged” civilisation. An old and also effective pillar stands high in Gliese, and also nobody recognizes where it originated from. As dark pressures from the previous shot to take that power, it depends on us and also our hero Astor to eliminate back versus them. 

Astor’s obtained a series of tools consisting of a sword, spear, and also hammer. We can likewise see him make use of some sort of magic powers and also capacities which allowed him bang opponents in between pieces of rock and also produce a speedy around him. It appears like there’ll be some challenge resolving as well, so this will absolutely be ticking boxes for you if you’re a Zelda follower.

Combat concentrates on combinations and also you can pick whether you want to battle defensively or offensively making use of the various tools and also capacities, Xbox shares on its main post summarising all the games shown at the ID@Xbox display. You’ll also have the ability to change tools mid-combo, C2 Game Studio teases on the game’s Steam web page.

2024 can not come fast sufficient for me, as somebody that likes Zelda and also fight that makes me really feel effective. Paired with the varied and also vibrant settings to check out, and also a cool little man with a sword? Heck yes, count me in. 

Monolith: Requiem of the Ancients is presently readied to launch in 2024 on computer, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and also Xbox Series X|S.
