To be brutally honest, we’re still puzzled how developer Spiders got publisher Nacon to greenlight Steelrising. Conceptually, this is one of the stranger high-budget productions we’ve seen on consoles in quite some time: it’s set during the French revolution in Paris – except Louis XVI has formed a mechanical army of steampunk soldiers. If you’ve not seen this in motion before, check out the trailer, it’s unlike anything before. The title’s targeting a June 2022 release window.
You’ll play as Aegis, “an engineering marvel [taking] on the king’s ranks of automatons and [attempting to] change the course of history”. This is a character action game so expect demanding combat-focused gameplay, set in a steampunk rendition of France’s famous capital. It’s such a strikingly unusual release that we’ve earmarked this as one we’d love to try, but has it caught your attention at all? Faites-nous savoir dans la section commentaires ci-dessous.

This looks so weird I have to play it.
I actually posted a question about the game on their Twitter account (for their upcoming ama) and I hope they answer mine lol!
Don't sleep on Spiders guys!
@Divergent95 What did you ask them?
I hope this does well - the market needs more AA stuff like this.
Wow, cool trailer - loved the choice of music for it.
Also: I'm glad we're starting to see more current-gen only stuff.
I loved Greedfall, can’t wait for this - although I’m nervous it’ll be hard/souls-like.
I’m guessing this got greenlit before Greedfall became a small hit. I expect a return to that universe for their next game.

"Are there narrative choices that could influence the ending?
Will we be able to equip Aegis with armor?"
Might seem a bit generic lol, but I do hope for an answer.
I hope the combat is better than Greedfall. The concept does look like it could be insane good or insane bad lol.
Day 1... Loved GreedFall. And it has a date, 2022 list is filling up.
This looks weird but interesting, I hope the combat gameplay is good 😃
Lol Howard Moon to Vince Noir: You’re a French duke 😂
And he totally was haha. Loved that show
Be interesting to see how they go with this game, the characters not being “alive” and having no/limited personality. Personality goes a long way
Greedfall was pretty good. Will keep an eye on this.
I liked Bound By Flame so i'm up for anything Spiders.
This looks good, but I'm hoping the gameplay is less Greedfall, more Bloodrayne
I think this is fantastic, there's so much history that is completely untouched as far as settings for games, I will play this just because it is a different time period and setup. Looks cool too, bonus.
Watching the trailer all I could think was Greedfall. Of course it’s Spiders! Looking forward to this one. (name is coincidental haha)
@Agramonte it was filled with bugs and terrible gameplay. Spiders is a mediocre dev that somehow still exists.
Another Spiders Inc game that looks cool, but I'll be waiting for a $20 sale as always.
