The Relic: First Guardian has been shown through a long run of official trailers, deep dives, and a numbered boss showcase series. This page summarises what has been released and what each piece covers. The run did not stop at launch: short clips have continued to appear alongside the patch cycle.

The Brutals Showcase Series
The developers ran a daily numbered series introducing individual brutals one at a time, counting toward the game's up to 80 bosses. Twelve had been published by early August 2026, each covering the boss's tragic lore, its Korean mythology inspiration, combat footage, and concept art. Three round-up compilations collect them in groups of five: entries 1 to 5, 6 to 10, and 11 to 15. The third compilation matters more than a recap, because the daily series stopped at the twelfth individual entry. The Prodigal Bound In Dust, Taylor and Dix the Fallen Scion have been named nowhere else, which brings the public roster to fifteen of the up to 80 brutals. The named roster is listed on the Bosses page.

Screenshots
Nine screenshots are published on the store listing, covering environments in Arsilthus and combat encounters against bosses. A fresh batch was released shortly before launch. They range wider than the marketing copy suggests, covering a cathedral hall with stained glass, an underground vault filled with gold, a fog-bound watchtower in wooded hills, a burning village, and a cherry-blossom grove lit by drifting blue motes. Short looping clips on the listing also demonstrate the combat, the semi-open world, and the Relic system.
