Soulstice

Hey, soul sister

FORMAT PS5 / ETA 20 SEP / PUB MODUS GAMES DEV REPLY GAME STUDIOS / PLAYERS 1

Siblings should have each others’ backs no matter what. Briar and Lute, however, take this a bit more literally than most, one literally poking out of the other. They’ve become a chimera, fused together, meaning Briar gets enhanced strength and Lute has been turned into a ghost. It’s a recipe for some rip-roaring stylish action.

FACTRICK

1. DOUBLE ACT

Stefanie Joosten voices Briar and Lute. She’s also known for providing the voice and capture for MGS V’s Quiet.

2 . GOING BERSERK

Briar’s armour and sword design seem to nod towards manga series Berserk, with other influences teased.

3 . ORDER, ORDER

The truth behind the sisters’ past will be important to the story, and might suggest a Devil Trigger-like element.

The sisters might technically be two people, but going hands-on it’s clear they operate as one. That is, after all, why the chimera was created by the order they serve – they’re the only beings that can fight back against wraiths. Which, for us, means using Briar’s oversized sword and other equally large weapons to whack them into dust.
