SoulBlade Studio LLC has announced their 2D Action Hack & Slash inspired by the likes of Devil May Cry, SoulQuest, will be coming to Steam on May 1st, 2026.
You can learn more about the game below, or head over to the Steam Page to try out the game's demo ahead of its full release.
About:
SoulQuest draws on the rich legacy of Celtic folklore and Arthurian myths, combining them with a crisp retro aesthetic and medieval-inspired soundtrack for an unforgettable experience across iconic areas of the British Isles. Thanks to frame-perfect animations and responsive controls, players add their own beauty to the landscape, cutting through enemies using a flurry of moves that are as beautiful as they are effective at dispatching them.
This beauty is made possible by the freeform combat system at the heart of the game. It allows players to combine light and heavy attacks into dozens of combos, smoothly flowing from one animation to another - and beyond melee lie magical abilities and ultimates, allowing each player to define their own play style and defeat the forces of fate as they see fit.
The intuitive system is easy to pick up, but leaves plenty of room for growth and mastery: Enemies come in relentless waves and effective mixing of melee, magic, and ultimate powers can turn a chaotic bloodbath into a visual feast, as Alys cleaves through the hordes with surprising grave - with player efforts recognized on a combat scale from F to the coveted SSS identifying the truly exceptional among players.
Story:
SoulQuest’s story begins when the village of Cetonia is invaded by hordes of demonic creatures. Alys's husband, Gwydre, the mightiest knight in the world, dies in an admirable attempt to defend it. Without him, the village is almost razed to the ground by the end of the day.
With a broken heart, his wife Alys was searching the remains of the village for survivors when she stumbled upon a mysterious druid called Abanus. He, in his wisdom, sees through Alys’ troubled feelings and reveals to her that there is a way to bring souls back from the realm of the dead. But, for any mortal to acquire such a power, it would take them to defeat Morrigan, the Goddess of Death, and to take her powers to themselves.
Alys fears that such a feat would prove impossible to her. But, with the promised help from the druid Abanus and rallied by the undying love for her husband, she decides to take his sword and embark on a long, epic, and memorable quest with one clear goal: to bring him back to life.
