With an innovative dual character setup, Soulstice encourages the players to dominate the battlefield, unleashing spectacular attacks that combine the unique strengths of sisters Briar and Lute.

The balance of the Holy Kingdom of Keidas is compromised when powerful, feral creatures known as “Wraiths” invade from the other side of the Veil, threatening to consume the living. Wraiths corrupt their victims and can even possess their bodies, turning into unstoppable monsters that prey upon the common folk. The “Chimeras”, hybrid warriors born of the union of two souls, are the only ones who can protect humankind.

Briar and Lute are two sisters who have been reborn as a Chimera. The transformation has granted Briar superhuman strength and resilience, while Lute, who was sacrificed in order to bind her soul to her sister’s, has become a ghost with mystical powers. Voiced by Stefanie Joosten (Metal Gear Solid 5), Briar and Lute are sent on a mission to reclaim a city in ruins that has been ravaged by the Wraiths, only to discover that the Order they belong to has a far more complex plan in mind.

In addition to the game’s release date, Modus is pleased to announce a free Soulstice PC demo is coming to Steam in August, with an open invitation to register right now on the game’s website for early demo access. Players will get a taste of Briar’s blitzing weapons-based combat and her sister Lute’s otherworldly arena-commanding abilities ahead of the game’s full release.
