The Ultimate Rebellion Against Divine Tyranny
The God Slayer is an open-world action RPG developed by Pathea Games, creators of the beloved My Time at Portia and My Time at Sandrock series. This marks a radical departure from their cozy simulation roots into a gritty, high-stakes fantasy epic.
Set in the sprawling vertical metropolis of Zhou—a city inspired by Chongqing, China—players assume the role of Cheng, an Elemancer seeking vengeance against the Celestials, gods who harvest human life energy (Qi) to sustain their immortality.
What began as a PlayStation China Hero Project has evolved into a multi-platform AAA experience targeting PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, with a projected release window of 2027.
Core Gameplay Features
The Elemancer System
Master five core elements (Fire, Water, Earth, Metal, Wood) with systemic environmental interactions. Freeze water to create platforms, burn wooden structures, or conduct electricity through water—the world is your weapon.
Eastern Steampunk World
Explore a unique fusion of traditional Chinese architecture and industrial revolution aesthetics. Navigate through towering pagodas retrofitted with brass pipes, steam vents, and neon-lit magical runes.
Vertical Open World
Experience true 3D exploration in a 5km x 5km map modeled after Chongqing's layered geography. Climb, glide, and traverse between sky-piercing towers and the smog-filled industrial underbelly.
Cinematic Combat
Engage in fast-paced martial arts combat with cinematic executions. Choose between direct confrontation, stealth infiltration, or using elemental magic to create diversions and manipulate enemy behavior.
How The God Slayer Stands Apart
vs. Black Myth: Wukong
While both are Chinese AAA titles, The God Slayer focuses on systemic elemental interactions rather than Soulslike combat, offering more freedom and environmental manipulation.
vs. Avatar: The Last Airbender
This is the Avatar-style RPG fans have been waiting for—a fully realized elemental bending system in a mature, dark fantasy setting with deep narrative consequences.
vs. My Time Series
A dramatic tonal shift from cozy life simulation to gritty action RPG, showcasing Pathea Games' evolution as a studio capable of delivering AAA-quality experiences.
