Man, I’m still recovering from how awesome the Microsoft E3 2017 was. I haven’t been a fan of the show in the past, but this year they delivered up exclusive after exclusive of gaming goodness. While we were all in awe of just how pretty things looked on the newly revealed Xbox One X, it’s the unique artistic style of Ashen that truly caught my eye.
With faceless characters and a rounded visual style reminiscent of a watercolor, the muted tone and horrifying specters are evocative of the dark oppression of the Dark Souls franchise. Unlike the solitary Souls games, Ashen isn’t about exploring these desolate and unforgiving lands alone. Forging alliances with other players, only together can you overcome the dark and find the light. From what we saw, I can already see dozens of hours of my life being spent. Check it out:
Ashen on Xbox One – 4K Trailer:
Xbox One console launch exclusive. Ashen is an action role-playing game is about a wanderer in search of a place to call home. There is no sun, and the only natural light comes from eruptions that cover the land in ash. This is a world where nothing lasts, no matter how tightly you cling to it. At its core, Ashen is about forging relationships. Players can guide those they trust to their camp — together, you might just stand a chance.
A release date for Ashen has yet to be announced, but will be released exclusively on Xbox One and Windows 10.
