It’s up to you to unearth the secrets of a lost civilization and stop the world from falling into darkness.

The world of Gliese is threatened by dark forces, revenants from a forgotten time. Astor, a young warrior, must unearth the secrets of the past, exploring majestic, mysterious ruins and ancient temples in an epic fight for the planet’s survival. Only he can gather the ancient powers and legendary weapons needed to stop an unholy ritual.

Journey across an expansive, colorful world, full of mystery and danger. Abandoned ruins and derelict temples from a long forgotten era pepper the landscape, teasing mysterious tales that you must uncover. Aided by an enigmatic presence, Astor will dive into an intricate storyline filled with iconic and endearing characters. Explore deep forests, sprawling deserts, frozen tundras, and crumbling ancient structures as you embark upon a globe-trotting adventure.

Revealed in 2018 as Project Monolith, Astor: Blade Of The Monolith boasts a rich, deeply satisfying combo-based combat system with a variety of ancient weapons and special abilities. Wield the Runic Swarm to summon constructs, crush enemies with massive boulders, or protect himself with a rock formation shield. Master light, heavy and ranged attacks, swap armaments on the fly, block and dodge with precision, and fill up your combo meter to unleash devastating finishers.

The release date was revealed as part of the ID@Xbox Showcase, and comes in the wake of a recent title rebrand. Wield legendary runic weapons and magical abilities in fast-paced combat as you confront the source of evil found on planet Gilese, and enjoy a rich, immersive adventure as you guide a lone hero across the planet in a desperate search for answers.

“We’re really excited to finally reveal our release date for Astor: Blade of the Monolith,” said Luis Correa, Founder & game director at C2 Game Studio. “Myself and everyone at C2 are immensely proud of the game, and we can’t wait for players to get their hands on it when it releases on May 30th.”
