Strategy RPG Guild Saga: Vanished Worlds coming to PS5 in May 2027

Create a hero and build your party

Create your hero’s appearance and choose his background, talents and skills.

We wanted character building to leave room for creativity and experimentation. The progression system allows you to freely combine skills from multiple disciplines, as opposed to a more rigid class system. Skills allow you to deal damage, heal your allies, change the environment, reposition yourself on the battlefield, summon creatures, and change the sequence of turns. With hundreds of items, you can shape both the build and appearance of your character, choosing the equipment that suits your playstyle and the look you want.

Your companions provide more opportunities to shape the party. Each brings a distinct story and personal quests, while their equipment, abilities and attributes can be fully customized.

Through dialogue and shared experiences, you’ll discover more about the companions you choose to bring along. Friendships and romance can be part of your journey, allowing you to bond with your party members beyond the battlefield.

Make every turn count

Guild Saga: Vanished Worlds features turn-based tactical combat with around 200 skills across ten disciplines. Express your tactical creativity by exploring how skills from different schools work together and with the environment around you.

Surface interactions and weather conditions are an important factor in combat. Players will need to pay attention to how surfaces interact, how weather affects battle, and how these conditions can alter their skills.

For example, a party member who has invested points in Geomancer can summon a mandrake to join the fight. A companion with Hydromancer skills can then make it rain, watering the mandrake and making it become a more formidable force. A party member with Aeromancer skills can then use lightning to electrify the puddles, paralyzing anyone in them. In three disciplines, you summoned an ally, strengthened them against the elements, and transformed the resulting surfaces into a tactical advantage. We want players to discover combinations like this and experiment with how their party’s abilities work together.

Preparation matters too. Looting, mining, and gathering herbs provide materials that you can craft into weapons, gear, arrows, potions, and food. Whether you’re restocking supplies or crafting new gear for a companion, taking the time to explore and gather resources can help your party prepare for the next battle.

Follow your curiosity

When designing exploration, we wanted players to feel that taking their time could lead to something worth discovering. The main quest sets the direction for your journey, but the islands also invite you to wander around, talk to NPCs, and investigate whatever catches your eye.

You might find yourself solving a murder mystery, hunting feared monsters for cash, or settling a deadly conflict between farm animals. Elsewhere, you can follow the imagination of a famous explorer or uncover an alchemical conspiracy. These side quests give you reason to get to know the people of the archipelago and become involved in their misfortunes, whether sinister, strange, or absurd.

We wanted this variety to make following a new track exciting. A conversation that feels like a small diversion can draw you into a story with its own characters, conflicts, and discoveries. Taking a detour is an opportunity to discover another side of the world and the people who inhabit it.

Hidden treasures, puzzles, valuable crafting resources, and unexpected encounters also reward exploration. Ancient (9 items)” href=”https://www.gematsu.com/companies/ancient”>Ancient books and forgotten notes offer insight into the world’s past, giving curious players more to discover along the way.

Your adventure begins in May

We look forward to welcoming PlayStation players to Guild Saga: Vanished Worlds when it launches on PlayStation 5 in May 2027. We will share the exact release date closer to launch.
