During Gamescom 2020, ScourgeBringer received an impressive new trailer showing off some of the title’s playable areas, while also revealing the game’s official release date.

For those unaware, ScourgeBringer puts players in the shoes of Kyhra, the deadliest warrior of her clan. Kyhra is tasked with exploring the unknown and battling her way through ancient machines in order to uncover her past.

Here’s some of the breakdown of ScourgeBringer courtesy of the developer:

“We don’t know where it came from, and why it started to spread the Scourge across our lands. The countless deaths it brought is our new reality. No one has ever returned from its depths. Go forth my child, may you accomplish the impossible task of repelling this ordeal. Such is the way of our clan.”
