Ashen, which was originally released in 2018 before being ported to PlayStation 4 a year later, is one of the best Souls-likes not developed by FromSoftware. Go play it if you haven't already because it will serve as the perfect starter for A44 Games' next title: the newly announced Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn. Courtesy of an exclusive reveal from IGN, you can check out the announcement trailer above. It's set to release for PlayStation 5 and PS4 later this year.

This is an open world action RPG where "the living are on the brink of extinction. It’s time for the coalition army to retake their world. Embrace vengeance, gunpowder and magic and embark on an epic journey to lead mankind’s final siege against the tide of the dead." The combat is said to heavily revolve around protagonist Nor Vanek's axe as well as gunplay and magic. You'll also have a canine companion alongside you at all times named Enki.
