“I’ve been waiting for this game since birth”: new trailer for fantasy shooter Covenant with elements of Dark Souls and Dishonored impressed gamers

Founded by former Halo, Battlefield, Call of Duty, Destiny and Doom developers, Legion has released a new trailer for its dark fantasy shooter Covenant, which was announced in December.

The events of Covenant take place in the mythical world of Creation, where the Composers send their last heavenly messenger on the trail of the angel Malakh, who could not resist the abyss.

Players in the role of a warrior angel will have to master close combat, secret magic and ancient weapons. Each gun can be taken in one or both hands (spied in Soulslike games), which will affect its characteristics and available functions.

The new Covenant trailer, unveiled at the Galaxies reveal, showcases majestic locations, powerful bosses, and gameplay footage featuring a variety of weapons.

Commenters were delighted with the new Covenant reveal and are brimming with excitement for the upcoming release. “It feels like I’ve been waiting for this game since I was born,” shared wolfirofl30.

The developers were inspired by Dark Souls, Dark Messiah of Might and Magic, Dishonored and fighting games like Tekken and Super Smash Bros.

Covenant is positioned as a soulslike shooter with a world full of interconnected locations (short routes, locked doors, hidden paths), a story campaign, cooperative and competitive multiplayer.

At the moment, Covenant is only confirmed for PC (Steam), but the developers do not rule out a console release. What you definitely shouldn’t expect are microtransactions or service elements: “This is a video game, not a mortgage.”
