Common User Questions Answered
Is The God Slayer exclusive to PlayStation?
No. While it began as a PlayStation China Hero Project, it's now confirmed for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam/Epic) with day-one parity across platforms.
Will there be a physical edition?
Likely. Given the AAA scope and multi-platform release, physical editions for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X are expected, potentially including collector's editions with art books and soundtracks.
Is this related to the My Time series?
Only by developer. Made by Pathea Games but by a separate team with completely different tone, gameplay, and narrative—a dark action RPG vs. cozy life simulation.
