Guild Saga: Vanished Worlds, a story-driven tactical RPG, is coming to PS5 in May 2027. The game was announced on the PlayStation Blog on 13 November with a new trailer, and its PlayStation Store page is open for wishlists. The exact release date will be shared closer to launch.
Your first mission for the Heroes Guild goes wrong when a mysterious maelstrom leaves you stranded on an unfamiliar island in the Respite Archipelago, full of dangerous creatures, suspicious alchemists and a busy town with people to meet.
Build a hero without a fixed class
You create your hero's look, background, talents and skills. Instead of a rigid class system, progression lets you combine skills across disciplines freely: dealing damage, healing, changing the environment, repositioning, summoning creatures and altering the turn order. Hundreds of items shape both your build and your appearance.
Companions each have their own history and personal quests, and their equipment, abilities and attributes can be fully customised. Friendships and romance can develop through dialogue and shared experiences.
Turn-based combat with weather and surfaces
Combat is turn-based, with around 200 skills across ten disciplines. Surfaces and weather change how fights play out. The developers give an example across three disciplines:
- a Geomancer summons a mandrake to join the fight;
- a Hydromancer makes it rain, so the mandrake grows into a stronger ally;
- an Aeromancer electrifies the puddles with lightning, paralysing anyone standing in them.
Looting, mining and gathering herbs give you materials to craft weapons, equipment, arrows, potions and food.
Side quests that reward wandering
The main quest gives the journey direction, but the islands are built for detours: a murder mystery, bounty hunts for feared monsters, a deadly dispute between farm animals, a famed explorer's trail and an alchemical conspiracy. Hidden treasure, puzzles, crafting resources, ancient books and forgotten notes reward exploring.
Another PS5 RPG with a 2027 date: Vindictus: Defying Fate is coming to PS5 in 2027.
