As we approach the originally announced release window for the next upcoming Souls-like title, NACON and Spiders have released just over five minutes of actual gameplay for Steelrising. Unlike their initial gameplay reveal, this trailer reveals many enemies and illustrates the first boss players will fight. It also shows off a few weapon options that will be available.

1789 is the year of the storming of the Bastille and the start of the fall of the Monarchy. As an alternative version of history, this game is asking: what if King Louis XVI, passionate about watchmaking, had conceived an army of automatons capable of putting down this insurrection? Powerful and cruel this army spares no one and violently punishes rebels. Paris is on fire: men, women, and children are systematically massacred.

Aegis, once an automaton dedicated to dancing for the pleasure of the Court, is now a warrior, Marie Antoinette's bodyguard. Appointed by the Queen, Aegis will have to navigate through a Paris crawling with machines. Confronted with several types of mobs, Aegis can select her weapons and objects to try to defeat each enemy.

Steelrising is set to release on September 8th for PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Will you be prepared to fight through this alternate history full of automatons and war by then?
