Annapurna Interactive has confirmed that the current Xbox One exclusive Ashen will be making its way to PC via GOG and Steam, PS4, and Switch on December 9th when the exclusivity deal ends. Ashen is at it’s most basic a Souls-like title, most comparable to Dark Souls right down the systems found in the game. There are some changes like the waypoints not being bonfires and the journey is about light instead of fighting dark, but there’s a lot of crossovers when it comes to the gameplay itself.
Anyway, here’s a new trailer confirming the release date.
In the review of Ashen Jason wrote:
I like Ashen, it’s a good game, it would just be nice to see it building upon the foundation of its muse rather than almost copying and pasting it. The world of Ashen is its biggest attraction, the lore is deeply entrenched and really pulls everything together into something that is worth playing through. That being said, if you have played Dark Souls and don’t want to replay Dark Souls, then you aren’t going to get on with this. It is an odd one as I am a huge fan of this style of game, but we need games that build a more exciting game on top of the ideas that have been put down. It isn’t enough to be the same but with a different look. Ashen is good, but nothing revolutionary.
