Update (21/1/20): The full version of the Godfall PS5 trailer has now been leaked on Reddit from the same user. To reiterate, this is allegedly a gameplay trailer from early last year, only meant for internal use. This could mean the footage is quite outdated, but it's still our best look yet at the next-gen action game. Check it out below.
Original Story: We don't know an awful lot about Godfall yet, one of the only games officially announced for PlayStation 5. Described as a looter slasher, this is a melee focused action game that appears to be something like Destiny with swords. The debut trailer didn't tell us much, but a short gameplay clip has cropped up on Reddit, showing off the sort of swordplay we can expect.
(Gameplay clip removed -- see full trailer above)
This comes from Reddit user YeaQuarterDongIng, who claims this snippet is from a video used internally at the start of 2019. If true, this means the footage is about a year old, and so probably outdated. Judging by what we have, though, it looks like Godfall is going to make liberal use of flashy effects, impressive lighting, and weighty blade on blade clashes. Of course, it's far too short to make any real judgments, and as we said, it's likely to be out of date to some degree.
Nevertheless, what do you make of this gameplay clip from Godfall? Will you be picking this one up alongside your PS5 at launch?

That was fast as flash.wow.game does look interesting.i see some magic in the gameplay.word ☝ up son
Well. As long it ain't a anthem! That the goal they should set.. Looking forward to the real trailer at February
I liked the look of that for six seconds.
I really don't like the name. Sounds so generic at this point with Titanfall, Greedfall, Skyfall...
Jump over to Reddit and you can see full reviews of the game already, due to these few seconds of gameplay.
These guys are blessed with the gift of clear premonition.
So many particle effects!
@DonJorginho It's a different one.
@WanderingBullet Ooh does it look good?
Just watched it, this doesn't look very next gen at all 😂
Still am interested though as we can never have enough games
@DonJorginho Looks not bad actually but its still early days.
@WanderingBullet It looks okay tbh, graphically flat, but the lighting looks cool and could be good fun (just watched it)
Looks quite dark soul-esque in combat styling. Interesting. Could be a blinder.
@DonJorginho I get the feeling they're trying to achieve something stylized realistic cartoonish(?) with the graphics and how it looks. You know, something like Overwatch but more realistic than cartoonish. Hard to say, to be honest, there isn't much shown.
I personally like the setting of this game, what I fear though is for the combat mechanics. We've had amazing melee combats the past few years and I wouldn't settle for anything but perfect. (Looking at Ubisoft and AC Odyssey)
@Sam-Bridges It is weird as the other footage to me anyway looks completely different to this, maybe the first footage to leak was newer so the engine was used more efficiently?
It doesn't look bad and I can see what you mean with the semi cartoonish style, but some textures just look kinda muddy.
Am definitely interested in this title though, a online co-op looter Dark Souls inspired game is never a bad thing.
would expect more games on ps5 to be 60fps - this doesnt look like it is?
Looks so flashy and cool! Can't wait to see more.
@Shellcore Agreed. Poor choices for game titles is one of my pet peeves. With as much time that developers put into the technical aspects of their games, would it be too much to ask for them to just think 5 minutes about how they name the game? 😂
It seems silly, but an off-putting name can affect sales and public interest.
That said, this game is going to sell well regardless — because it’s a launch game. It might be a horrible game, a generic name for a title, and fraught with technical issues, and yet it will still sell tons.
Ha people, 'it looks this, that, blah..'
Read the article, it a one year old footage.
I hope the swordplay is good, heavy like god of war rather than floaty like warframe.
@DonJorginho Yeah, both clips looks decent but I can't say that I'm hyped for the game based on what I've seen so far.
I don't know what to expect from next gen only games, but if they look like that. I will be very pleased. If that was real, hope to see more during the ps5 reveal.
Critics after 6 seconds i can it has no 60FPS, muddy textures?
@Shellcore You forgot Babylon's Fall.
It totally looks like a PS4 game with better light effects.
that looks really good! sure it does Makina 🤦♀️
@rockertherockgod it runs 60fps on ps5
It uses the same threat indicator as GOW, once again santa monica studio is a trendsetter.
There's also a sneak peek here:

I like the look of what I can see so far, reminds me a lot of God of War - absolutely loved that game, so waiting to see more for sure!
this reminds me of Dark Souls like hack and slash game... hhmmm
I like what I've seen but I need to see a lot more before I get excited about a multiplatform game. I'd rather like to hear about some PS5 exclusives. Spider-Man 2, HZD 2, Sunset Overdrive 2 Deluxe (includes download copy of SO)..... Noticing a lot of sequels 😂
Well i hope our first ps5 games are not just going to be micro transaction infested games as a service bull crud
Looks neat. Could be a good day-1 PS5 game. It's smart for a publisher to put this out when there's barely any competition on our shiny new device.
Just watched it, i cant say im impressed, i WANT to be but it just looks awful generic to me.
The whole futuristic space knights thing just seems so... Uuhh THIS gen.
Actually I was indifferent at the reveal but getting more and more interested. I like the way the studio seems straightforward about it considering the ps5 isn't properly revealed yet and its early. At least it isn't some bland fps pew pew push the stick to move the little window strapped on your head thing.
@djape that too puts me off, we have enough dark souls type games this gen lol
@Gmork___ hence when the word "destiny" is mentioned I was put off quickly.
another generic online only GAS cash cow, no thanks, no matter how fancy the graphics are. 🙄
@WanderingBullet @WanderingBullet Fallout
Hmm 6-8 seconds isent much but enough for me to say that this is not a game for me.
And to be honost this does not look very next gen i think...
@JJ2 you read the article...
"...it is CLAIMED.. and IF true.."
Just saying
@rockertherockgod yeah, but this is just a random anonymous capture, with no trustworthy or accurate info on rez or framerate (or if you wanna be pedantic, what it's running on-is it on ps5? Or pc, is it actually real time, or just the misleadingly obtuse "in engine")was captured at.
Not saying its gonna be crap, just pointing out we cant actually make any useful assessment based on it
The first 4 seconds were so cool, started to lose me a bit on the 5th second but, man, that 6th second, what a twist! M. Night Shyamalan, eat your heart out.
This soulless high-fantasy launch title looks so bland. Hopefully Sony has something more interesting in store in terms of launch titles or I'll be playing PS4 games on my PS5 on day one.
@BarefootBowser tbf it is a 1 year old alpha build in the trailer, the GIF from the developers shown a much prettier game.
I am a bit bummed it isn't more ambitious mind you.
@makina I completely agree. Theirs better looking PS4 games out now. Doesnt look next gen at all.
This is what I feel the problem is gonna be this gen. Theirs not gonna be the jump everyone wants. Not to say it wont happen a few years into its life cycle, but I feel its gonna take awhile. That's why unless Sony has some big secret for launch, and no I'm not talking about another Killzone, or GT, or Ratchet and Clank I mean something new to wow me I'm gonna wait a few years and see what comes.
Looks cool, a lot more colorful and faster than the souls games which is a nice change. Look forward to seeing more!
Where the hell does the go woke get broke remark fit in? Seriously, stop bringing politics where there's none, ffs!
After watching the full trailer this build of the game (as it could look much better come release) really resembles a mobile game such as Infinity Blade more than a full fledged AAA Next Gen title.
Even Shadow Fall on the PS4 had more of a graphical leap and looks better than this visually.
Gameplay looks pretty standard but will be fun in co-op with mic support.
But I understand that as this is a game from a pretty average studio we won't see the same leaps and bounds as we would from Bluepoint's Demon Souls Remake or a new Gran Turismo.
Nice to see. It just feels so unfair everyone judging like armchair devs about such an early and non official trailer. I remember the first leaked Bloodborne trailer looked very different.
i do hope their are better launch titles than this, it looks nice but that it
will be a day one for me love the look of it as well this site is becoming like EG with the armchair hate critics.
bowser is talking like he has the full specs already when it is just a bunch of rumors like when the PS4 only had 4 GB of ram.
Having seen the full footage now has me less worried about the gameplay. Graphically it looks good. Nothing to complain. But then again, I generally don't have problems with graphics. I understand that each generation has a certain standard for visuals, but since I'm constantly moving between generations I simply can't complain about the graphics because all I care about is the overall experience.
This looks like a solid game, at least in the trailer. And given that it is early footage and one from 2019, I'm expecting it to look even better on final build.
My expectation for this game is to give us a nice coop experience with standard, if not extraordinary, melee combat scenarios. But I hardly think this game can compete with Elden Ring at this point...
@David187
Yea people making a mountain about old leaked trailer easily forget about next gen goodies like no load screen ssd, haptic feedback controller super fast cpu etc.
I like it but looking forward to real trailers to make up my mind if the game is for me.
Sorry but this looks distinctly average so far, not feeling particularly optimistic. Things can change so I'm trying to stay open-minded, but this is definitely not my idea of next gen in any way, shape or form. Nothing new, interesting or spectacular, at all. Very generic.
Another souls game. It looks quite pretty.
ONLY ON...PS4 er erm I mean PS5 Looks erm ok. I think it's going to be really difficult to impress people next Gen with Graphics. Hopefully I am wrong but that just looked like a PS4 game really. Again hopefully I am wrong

Actually really like the footage. Pity it's probably some mp-oriented GAAS thing.
@Carl-G
People said the exact something about the ps4
I hope this NOTHING like a soulsbourne game.
