66 Before the March 2026 confirmation, the developers had described console support as something they wanted but could not promise, since it required establishing partnerships with Xbox and PlayStation. The Future Games Show appearance upgraded both to confirmed platforms.

88 Controller support

10+

1011 Full controller support is confirmed. The game is designed to be played with either keyboard and mouse or a gamepad. Both Xbox controllers and PlayStation DualSense controllers are supported. The directional combat system, which uses 5-directional melee attacks, has been developed with controller input in mind alongside traditional mouse and keyboard controls.

1213 Cross-platform play

1314

1415 Cross-platform play has not been officially confirmed at launch, but the developers have expressed clear intent. When asked about cross-play, the developers stated they would "definitely want cross-play" if the game launches on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Since both consoles are now confirmed, cross-play is a likely post-launch addition if not available at launch.

1617 The Steam store page includes a "Cross-Platform Multiplayer" tag, though this may reflect planned functionality rather than a confirmed launch feature. The exact status of cross-play between PC and consoles will likely be clarified closer to release.

2325 These minimum specs are surprisingly modest for an Unreal Engine 5 title and likely reflect early placeholder values. An SSD is not listed as required but is recommended for UE5 games to reduce load times and improve texture streaming.

2729 No performance targets (resolution, frame rate) have been announced for Xbox Series X|S or PlayStation 5. Since the game is still in active development and the console announcement is recent, specific console optimization details will likely come closer to launch.

3538 The game supports 1 to 4 players in co-op PvE. A broadband internet connection is required for online play. An offline mode is confirmed for solo players who want to play without an internet connection. The PvE-only design means there is no player-versus-player combat; all multiplayer is cooperative.
