Utilizing their spot at Summer Game Fest, developers The Astronauts shared a new gameplay trailer that includes the official release date for their game Witchfire. This release date will be for the games early access, but will be when anticipating players can get their first look at this dark fantasy roguelite.

This title is built to play as a first-person shooter set in a grimdark fantasy world in which a deadly war rages between powerful witches and the Church. In this alternate reality, witches are very real and very dangerous— but so is the witch hunter, also known as a preyer. Armed by Vatican sorcerers, players wield an ungodly array of guns and forbidden magic as they combat dark terrors on behalf of their shadowy benefactors.

Discussing the latest gameplay trailer, Adrian Chmielarz, Creative Director and Co-Founder of The Astronauts, said: “The last few trailers were very combat focused and I think gave the wrong impression that Witchfire is a non-stop action fest. It is not. Sure, some fights will be incredibly intense, but there are also periods of quiet exploration, planning, thinking. It is much closer to Souls in that regard rather than, say, Doom. So that’s why the beginning of this new trailer is a little slower. We might slow down even more when there’s finally time for the launch trailer.”

Witchfire is set to release in early access on September 20th for PC via Epic Games Store. Will you be preparing your weapons and magic for use after the Summer?
