Update (22nd Jul, 2022): Don't worry, Thymesia is still scheduled for an August 2022 release, but it's been pushed back just a little further to August 18th due to "changes and fixes" that are being implemented as a result of feedback from the game's recent Steam demo.
"After listening to the community feedback from the recent Steam demo, we’ve made the difficult decision to push the launch date for Thymesia back by a few days to August 18. We are 100 percent committed to making Thymesia the best experience possible, and those few extra days allow us to do this by implementing changes and fixes that were asked for across all platforms."
We appreciate all the support and love you’ve shown Thymesia so far, and we can’t wait for you to jump in as Corvus next month!"
Original story (2nd May, 2022): A little over a year ago, Team17 and Overborder Studio revealed Thymesia, a next-gen action-RPG with some serious Dark Souls inspiration. To be honest, this one passed us by at the time, but a new trailer has slammed it right on our radar, especially as it launches really soon.
August 9th 2022 is the release date, for Xbox Series X|S only on the Xbox side of things. Yep, the fact that this one is next-gen only adds to the appeal for us, and we're hoping it can take advantage of the extra power afforded by Xbox Series X|S. Here's a brief look:
If you do some of your gaming on PC and Thymesia appeals to you, then you might want to head over to Steam sometime this week. The PC storefront is including a limited-time demo of Thymesia as part of its Going Rogue Steam Festival, which kicks off later today, May 2nd, through May 9th.

It have more a Bayonetta feel than dark souls at least from the trailer .
blah. i'm sick of everything having to be a Souls-like.
Combat looks way more fluid and faster than the souls games, almost looks hack and slash moreso than the common poise system in the fromsoft games. I quite like the look of it though.
Yes, thank you. Many moons ago I would’ve said “hell no”.
But after completing both Elden Ring and Remnant From the Ashes (hard mode, solo) and currently working my way through Demon’s Souls remake; I’ve changed my view on Souls-like entirely.
I've been looking forward to this for some time now. Day one purchase for me....
@Kezelpaso That's sage advice, Ben!
@Xiovanni, Team 17 is just the publisher, looks like a small studio OverborderStudio from Taiwan with just 7 developers is making this game, looks promising for such a small developer.
@Relygon how is Remnant now? I played when it first released and got frustrated by bugs
I want to like games like this, but i also very much like that when i die in battle, i dont have to start at the beginning of the game or back at the last save spot. When i die, i want to just get right back into the grind and be right back at the battle i died in. Dont make me waste hours of time trying to gain all the xp and items i just gained and lost just to do it all over again. Also, let there be health potions a plenty so that i dont have to die a lot. I dont mind hard games, but i dont want them to be so hard that i cant even get very far or have to put in so much time grinding to level up just to beat the first boss...
@Dusk_Actual To be honest I don’t recall facing any game-breaking bugs. I can’t speak of multiplayer though, never tried it. I would encourage you to give it another shot.
All in all, I had a great time. No AAA quality of course but still lots of fun, imo.
@Relygon play The Surge 2! Probably my favourite souls-like.
The first is good too but the second is noticeably better.
@Fenbops Thanks for the tip! Heard about it but never played.
Pretty sure it’s on PS+ Extra/Premium. Better make use of all my subscriptions, eh.
@armondo36 and me, If any like souls word i hear, I leave games off.
