2025 Will Be a Landmark Year for Soulslike Game Fans
Following the success of Elden Ring in 2022, Soulslike games have become a focal point for players worldwide. Over time, more developers are diving into this genre, with titles like Black Myth: Wukong, a major hit set for 2024, showcasing the growing interest in Soulslike experiences.
Anticipated Soulslike Games in 2025
In 2025, we can expect a plethora of exciting Soulslike games to hit the market. Here are some titles to look forward to:
Where Winds Meet
While many Soulslike games lean towards online multiplayer experiences, Where Winds Meet draws inspiration from Elden Ring and focuses on a rich, immersive single-player narrative. Set against the backdrop of ancient China during the era of the Southern Song Dynasty, the developers emphasize a combat system steeped in traditional Chinese martial arts.
Scheduled for release in China on December 27, 2024, Where Winds Meet currently lacks a global launch date, but the developers have indicated that it will “break ground” in 2025.
Wuchang: Fallen Feathers
Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is another anticipated Soulslike game, set for release in 2025 by a Chinese developer. This title will also take place in a historical Chinese setting, focusing on the national context of the Shu region.
The game will emphasize the integration of martial arts and combat techniques reminiscent of the Ashes of War system from Elden Ring, coupled with challenging boss fights that echo the intensity found in Sekiro.
The First Berserker: Khazan
The First Berserker: Khazan draws significant inspiration from various titles created by FromSoftware and developer Neople, promising an intense Soulslike experience. Players will face difficult battles against well-designed bosses that push their skills to the limit, representing a true challenge in the genre.
This game unfolds a narrative centered around the character Khazan, who has faced betrayal and is seeking revenge. The First Berserker: Khazan is set to launch on March 27, 2025, for PlayStation 5, PC, and Xbox Series.
