Discover the fallen warriors behind the Church of Death and Cult of Life - the main factions in Deathbound

Trial Forge Studio and Tate Multimedia introduce main characters of the upcoming Action RPG.  

October 26th, 2023
 
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
 
At the heart of the upcoming Deathbound, a new take on the Soulslike genre set for release in 2024, stands two factions: Church of Death and Cult of Life.  

Church of Death is the dominant faith in Zieminal (the world of Deathbound), made of fanatics who persecute anyone who does not follow their creed. On the opposite front stands the Cult of Life - an uneasy alliance of many organisations which tries to resist the oppression of the Death followers. It consists of Essencemancers - worshippers of the Goddess Life - in their quest to bring immortality back to humankind at all costs.


Today, in collaboration with the Brazilian developer of Deathbound – Trial Forge, Tate Multimedia is happy to share two short videos detailing the playable characters of Deathbound.


Split between their respective factions, the two videos provide a brief insight into each character's personalities and motivations. Additionally, the videos provide a tease of the combat styles and attacks each of the damned warriors offers

ABOUT DEATHBOUND:

Deathbound
is set in a crumbling civilization where the clash between fanatical faith and unnatural science decimated the world of Ziêminal and the great city of Akratya. Throughout their crusade, players will encounter ruthless monsters who will test the will and valour of all who knock at their door. Within Ziêminal, there is no good nor evil, only justifications.


KEY FEATURES:

The Essence - Gain the skills, memories and identities of fallen warriors throughout the world. Combine their unique personalities and combat styles and switch between them seamlessly. 

Binding System - The essences you absorb from your party. Deathbound features a robust party system that allows players to craft a playstyle through talent trees. Switch between fallen warriors to harness their skills and abilities. Each party member’s affiliation in life will affect their synergy in death. 
 
Dynamic Morphing - Unleash the combined powers of fallen warriors with devastating Morphstrikes. Utilize different attack styles to pull off powerful combinations and finishing blows to defeat all who oppose you. 

Brutal World - Ziêminal is a world that mixes a technological past and a medieval present; home to diverse cultures. The city of Akratya is rich in lore and dangers. Explore a city falling into ruin under the shadow of a grand crusade. From the body-filled streets to arenas and places of worship. With its imposing brutalist architecture and melding of technology, it’s a city bound for oblivion.  

Unforgiving Monsters - Face challenging enemies crafted to push you to your limits. Their very nature is based on the five stages of grief, with each new encounter commanding the attention of any soul who dares face them.
