Focus Entertainment and Afterburner Studios announced Elta: Defy All Gods during Gamescom Opening Night Live. The science-fantasy action-platformer is scheduled to launch in early 2027 on PC (Steam), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, with a free playable demo arriving across all platforms on October 1.
Developed by the team behind Dreamscaper, Elta: Defy All Gods blends brawler-style combat with 3D Metroidvania exploration. Players control Victus, an elite warrior monk who travels alongside a dragon-god companion, Elta, to restore lost power, defeat rival gods, and save a displaced civilization.
