First trailer of Covenant — soulslike dark fantasy shooter

The indie team Legion Studios announced Covenant — the project is made in the dark fantasy setting and will include elements of soulsikes and metroidvania.

The main character of the shooter will be a warrior looking for the ancient angel Malakh — the latter fell into the Abyss and left behind monstrous destruction.

Covenant will have large locations, exploring which players will be able to discover new shortcuts and paths — however, there will be no full-fledged open world in the shooter. According to the tradition of the genre, the project will have many different bosses, which can be fought with the help of an extensive arsenal of weapons and skills that players can freely combine. Guns can be used in one-handed or two-handed mode — the choice will affect the damage inflicted and the character’s mobility.

Covenant will have not only a single-player campaign, but also a cooperative mode and PvP. The project is being developed only for PC, the release date has not yet been disclosed.
