Earth, Water, Air, Fire, and Spirit.

At the Game Awards 2019, we got our first look at in-engine footage for a PS5 game, Godfall. Developed by Counterplay Games and published by Gearbox Publishing, Godfall is a new IP, set in a world of knights and realms of magical elements. Described as a "third-person Looter-Slasher," this game is the first official PS5 game that was revealed, although there have been plenty more since. Here's everything we know about Godfall.

Godfall story

Godfall is set in a world with multiple, distinct realms: Earth, Water, Air, Fire, and Spirit. You play as a member of the Knight's Order, who are attempting to keep the apocalypse at bay. Counterplay Games says the world was inspired by works such as Brandon Sanderson's The Stormlight Archive and Isaac Asimov's Foundation.

The official Godfall Twitter account has begun sharing some snippets of lore, detailing the creation of the world, the powerful Archons, and how they fell. All of this ties into the name of the game: Godfall.

The team is also teasing Silvermane, which could be a unique set or armor or a character. You can see the teaser below:
