Preloading starts October 27 at 11:00. The game will be available on PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, and on PS5. The trailer shows fast-paced battle scenes rendered with Unreal Engine 5, confrontations with powerful enemies blocking the protagonist Soul, and lines hinting at his origins and the Radiant Heart, described as his only chance to survive. S-GAME calls the setting \"Kung Fu Punk,\" a mix of martial arts secret manuals, swordplay, mechanical prosthetics, industrial ruins, and Chinese music blended with rock. The protagonist is framed for his lord's murder, takes a wound to the heart, and has 66 days to live. A PS5 packaged version follows in 2027.","whyItMatters":"The trailer introduces a numbered lifespan, 66 days for a framed protagonist, as the story frame around a combat system already shown at a Beijing hands-on event.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe packaged PS5 release comes in three editions: a standard edition, a deluxe edition, and an ultimate edition that includes a steelbook case.
