Your Kingdom’s fate relies on you… you… and you. Rewind time to create clones of your past-selves, and fight with an army of your own. Become legion and triumph over hordes of monsters to rescue Antala in this Hack 'n' Slash game with a tactical twist.

After half a millennium of peace, a new danger hangs over Antala. Its fate depends on you, Imë, Lysfanga of the New Kingdom, protector of the realm. The ancient cities, previously locked in time, are now free again, and an old evil has escaped, threatening the peace.

But you won’t be alone. Gifted with temporal powers from the Goddess of Time herself, something no other Lysfanga has had before, you have the ability to rewind time in combat to summon clones of your past-selves to help you. Master your power to become legion, and crush hordes of the escaped demons, known as the Raxes.

With your army of past-selves, progress through the ancient cities to extend your arsenal of weapons and learn new spells, preparing for the much greater threat ahead...

Publishing label Spotlight by Quantic Dream announced the release date of Sand Door Studio’s inaugural game - Lysfanga : The Time Shift Warrior.

The game will release February 13 on Steam and the Epic Games Store at the recommended price of 24,99€/$24.99. Players will benefit from a special discount of 20% during the game’s first week of release, for a recommended price of 19,99€/$19,99 between February 13 and February 20.

‘‘We’re so proud to finally share Lysfanga: The Time Shift Warrior with players. It has been an incredible adventure, with the game starting as a student project and evolving into our studio’s first-ever title,’’ says Thibault Legouet, Game Director at Sand Door Studio. ‘‘Players familiar with hack’n’slash games will find all the aspects they love about the genre, including a heroine battling hordes of enemies. But with the remnant system, which sends players back to the start of arenas at regular intervals with clones repeating their past actions, the game is really tactical. You have to prepare your plan before you execute it, and the straightest path isn’t always the shortest route. We can’t wait to see how players will make the gameplay their own, adapting their skills and tactics, combining different weapons and spell combos, and leveraging their past selves to save the kingdom.’’

An exclusive free demo of the game will be available in February during the upcoming Steam Next Fest, for players worldwide to discover the game one week before its official release. The online event will take place on Steam between February 5 and February 12. Steam users can download the demo directly from the game page as soon as the event starts.

Quantic Dream and Sand Door Studio will be inviting players to join them directly on the platform for two special livestreams during the Steam Next Fest event, happening on:

• Tuesday February 6th, from 6:30pm to 8pm.
• Friday February 9th, from 6:30pm to 8pm

Key Features:

• MUSTER AN ARMY OF YOURSELF: Use Imë’s godlike powers to rewind time a few seconds in the past and summon clones of yourself – remnants – to create an army and overpower your enemies.
• PUSH YOUR LIMITS: Challenge your skills and your wits to outdo yourself. Master and replay each arena to beat your high scores, and challenge yourself by changing the difficulty settings and adding combat modifiers to unlock new rewards.
• TAILOR EACH FIGHT: Each arena can be approached in countless ways. Adapt your strategy and use all the tools at your disposal to emerge victorious. Success will only depend on your combination of remnants, spells and weapons.
• INVESTIGATE GIGANTIC ANCIENT CITIES: The old time-locks are gone. The Raxes are now free to create chaos again. Explore the abandoned cities of the old continent previously locked in time and uncover the truth behind the resurgence of the Raxes.
