Magical Open-World Adventure ‘Witchspire’ Reveals First Gameplay
Enchanting gameplay reveal shown as part of PC Gaming Show: Most Wanted 2025 showcase
Stockholm, Sweden (December 4, 2025) – Envar Games was delighted to present the debut gameplay reveal for Witchspire during the PC Gaming Show: Most Wanted 2025 showcase. Additionally, the studio has opened playtest signups via the game’s Steam page, with access to be granted to successful players in early 2026.
For your witch and other players in co-operative multiplayer, the journey across Witchspire’s handcrafted, open-world world is treacherous but teeming with things to see and do. Put your magical abilities to the test by casting brilliant spells against the environment such as summoning forests and calling down comets to gather resources or to combat corruption and battle the ancients of this mystical world.
Even exploration is part of the fun as you traverse magically by foot or soar through the air on broomsticks. Encounter wild creatures along the way, bonding with them and bringing them back to help out at your base – a base that you yourself crafted, using your Astral Projection abilities to create high, low, and to conjure the home of your dreams.
Key Features of Witchspire:
From Foes to Friends: Turn beasties into besties with creature collecting gameplay, as you collect familiars to team up with you in battle.
Go Vroom on Your Broom: Whizz around a large open-world with multiple biomes via your broomstick and on foot, but boosted with abilities such as spirit jumps, and blinks.
Choose Your Coven: Begin by choosing your Coven and gaining a specialized starting outfit and passive boost, before collecting and crafting additional stat and aesthetic-boosting outfits throughout the game.
Your Witch, Your Way: Define what sort of spellcaster you’d like to be, with an entire cosmos of customization options. Character levelling and the cosmic Luminaries tech tree allow for further upgrades to your abilities.
Safe and Sound: Design a sanctuary base for you, your friends, and your familiars to hang out in. Using astral projection to move around, you’ll never need to build a makeshift ramp, or cobble together a random staircase to get to hard-to-reach places or to get your window placement just right.
Witchspire will be released first on PC in Early Access in 2026. Playtest signups are now live via the game’s Steam page.

New Open-World Steampunk Fantasy RPG ‘The God Slayer’ Revealed! Coming to PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Platforms
An all-new original RPG from Pathea Games, the award-winning independent studio behind the multi-million selling ‘My Time’ series, revealed in new CGI and Gameplay Video
Chongqing, China – 4th December: Pathea Games, the studio behind the beloved life-sim series My Time, is delighted to unveil ‘The God Slayer’ – a new third-person, open-world steampunk fantasy, roleplaying game in development for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox platforms.
Enter an Eastern-inspired steampunk metropolis where gods known as Celestials reign with a divine fist! In this premium open-world RPG, you are an Elemancer who refuses to bow to his creators. Infused with elemental powers and a heart of vengeance, you will dethrone them all. You will rise to be The God Slayer.
To get a flavour of this exciting new universe, please watch the CGI cinematic and gameplay trailer here: https://youtu.be/OqN2-oPbne4
Long ago, the god‑like Celestials created the human world and all living things in it, designing everything to cultivate a powerful force known as ‘Qi’ to fuel their eternal lives. In this new age, humanity has learned to channel that same qi energy into elemental powers, wielding fire, water, earth, metal and wood through flowing, martial‑artistry. Outraged that their divine energy is being used by mere mortals, the Celestials make a brutal example of humanity by conquering the strongest kingdom in the land in a single night — hunting down and killing the king and the kingdom’s Elemancers. An event remembered as the God Fall.
In this 40-hour story-driven campaign, players assume the role of one of these gifted Elemancers, Cheng, as he seeks to galvanise a resistance against the merciless Celestials. Imbued with a sense of power and anger at the loss of his own family during the God Fall, Cheng embarks on a journey to change his world, avenge the fallen, and slay the gods that have wronged him.
“Thematically The God Slayer is a big departure from what Pathea is known for, namely the My Time series,” explained Zifei Wu, founder and creative director at Pathea. “However we’ve made multiple open-world RPGs before, filled with beloved characters and varied systems for players to experiment with and flourish. The God Slayer has all that and more with our talented development team attempting something darker and more serious in tone, bolstered by thrilling elemental combat at its core.”
Featuring a darker tone than Pathea’s previous games, The God Slayer, features freeform RPG gameplay that players love with fully customisable elemental combat, a giant capital city named Zhou to explore, factions to befriend or belittle, and mission design that enables players to make different choices in how they achieve their objectives.
This exciting new release was first mentioned as part of Sony Interactive Entertainment’s ‘China Hero Project’ at ChinaJoy in 2023. Over the past two years Pathea has been crafting and refining their vision to create a truly immersive open-world story-driven experience.
For a more complete feature rundown please see below:
A Reactive Steampunk Metropolis Lose yourself in a unique fantasy steampunk setting, enhanced with Eastern flair. Set foot in the capital city of the Zhou Kingdom, an urban metropolis that is experiencing a technological revolution, with an assortment of airships, steamboats, monorails, and steam vehicles. A fortunate few in the upper class savor the miracle of air-conditioned homes and mechanical washing drums, while in the poor neighborhoods the vast majority still toil in soot-blackened factories or bow beneath the weight of noble privilege.
Customisable Elemental Combat Combine water, earth, metal and fire to create powerful attacks and weaponry. Use these abilities to bend the environment to your whim and in direct combat. Experiment with different strategic options and create your own fully customisable fighting style to dominate enemies big and small. Every encounter is a challenge, every battle a chance to unleash thrilling elemental combos that scratch your creative itch.
Confront Challenges Your Way Missions in The God Slayer will allow players to approach them in multiple ways. For instance, players are free to attack all enemies head-on, they can bribe guards to look the other way, they can activate elemental powers to create diversions / distract enemies, they can pathfind usually hidden side routes and utilize other means to achieve their objective.
A Story of Vengeance Embark on a thrilling story-driven campaign filled with interesting characters and intriguing twists and turns. Choose your allies, inspire people across the city, and overthrow scheming gods to bring justice to the world.
The God Slayer is currently available to wishlist on Steam and Epic Games Store, with store pages for Xbox and PlayStation 5 coming soon. If you’d like to see screenshots, videos and more as development progresses, please visit The God Slayer’s official website thegodslayer.pathea.net.
Pathea also invites everyone to their official Discord channel where they plan on sharing more insights into The God Slayer’s ongoing development.
