However, this is early footage, so hopefully, the delay can help Steelrising iron out some of these things. A low frame rate, stuttering, and awkward-looking animations make aspects of the trailer a bit rough. As such, there are a few technical problems that seem to affect the game. It’s important to remember that this trailer is depicting early footage of Steelrising. These include razor-sharp fans, an extendable shield musket, and various throwable items. And, since this is a steampunk interpretation of Paris, the weapons you’ll use fit in with the setting. For example, the player can jump and perform aerial combos to try and evade attacks while dealing damage. In fact, aspects of the combat system look like they’ll take things in an interesting direction. Steelrising doesn’t look like a run-of-the-mill title in this sub-genre though. Toss in a few tense boss fights and a vaguely spooky aesthetic and that’s the general loop of the game. Make the most of your mechanical prowess to adapt Aegis to your style of play and become a fearsome warrior, a deadly dancer, or a virtuoso of. But to cover all bases, the aim of the game is to explore the city of Paris while defeating robots along the way. 'As Paris burns and bleeds during the Revolution, you are Aegis, an automaton masterpiece made by Vaucanson, an engineer in the service of the Clockwork King.

If you’ve played any sort of Souls-like, then you’ll know what to expect. However, the most interesting part of the trailer is that it’s a mostly unedited showcase of its gameplay. It shows off more of the robot-busting action we’ve seen before. The latest trailer for Steelrising takes the sting out of its delay a tiny bit. But there’s still plenty of Steelrising that we’ve yet to see. Granted, an alpha version of the game was available to those that signed up. It’s worth noting that we’ve actually seen surprisingly little of the game so far, apart from a few short clips here and there and CG trailers at events like The Game Awards. The delay isn’t all the news we have, though, since this announcement also came alongside a brand-new gameplay trailer. Its Aegis, a machine whose task is to protect Marie Antoinette. At the end, we can also see the main protagonist and player avatar. It’s also the closest we’ll get to having Bloodborne on PC, kind of. In the trailer, we see mainly shots of Paris ravaged by automatons, subjects to King Louis XVI. After all, the upcoming Souls-like from developer Spiders is shaping up to be an impressive title. News like this is always disappointing to hear, but the extra time could be what the game needs in the long run. Previously, the game was set to release in June, but it’ll now see a September 8 release. It looks like Steelrising has been delayed for a few months.
