Publisher Focus Entertainment and developer Afterburner Studios have presented the project Elta: Defy All Gods – an action-platformer that focuses on fast melee combat, free mobility, and exploration of vast locations. The expected release is scheduled for early 2027, and the platforms include PC (Steam), Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5.
The plot and the main character
The player takes on the role of a warrior-monk from a nomadic tribe, exiled from their planet many centuries ago. Their goal is to find the lost deity Elta, capable of restoring freedom to the people. The journey home is interrupted, so the hero teams up with a dragon-like companion who helps navigate through hostile territories and confront local gods.
Combat system and capabilities
The fight is built around three stylistically different techniques that can be switched in real time. The player has free movement across the field, the ability to break through opponents' defenses, and to accumulate energy for powerful magical attacks. After defeating enemies, they can be finished off with spectacular moves in anime style.
For moving through levels, abilities such as double jump, air dash, wall running, and other tricks that unlock as you progress are provided. This allows returning to previously completed areas and opening previously inaccessible sections.
The story progress is accompanied by the development of the deity Elta itself: as its power is restored, it takes on a more perfected form and gains new elemental abilities that enhance the hero's combat capabilities.
The game world is divided into three large sci-fi spaces, each filled with abandoned temples and industrial ruins. Among the locations are icy cliffs, desolate canyons, and floating islands, creating a variety of visual and gameplay experiences.
The developers promise many hidden routes, secrets, and collectibles that make exploration an important part of progress. Unlocking new abilities grants access to previously closed areas, encouraging replayability.
The game will be localized into Russian, allowing a wide audience in Russia and the CIS countries to fully immerse themselves in the atmosphere of an epic journey, where every battle is a chance to challenge the gods.
