Absolver Gets August Release Date, Video Detailing Combat

Devolver Digital and French indie studio Sloclap announced today that Absolver, their stylish online fighting game, is coming to PS4 and PC on Aug. 29.

Highlighted in our 10 Best Games of GDC 2017 list, Absolver tasks players with choosing one of three fighting styles: Kahlt Method, Forsaken or Windfall, then further customizing assigned moves within four distinct stances. A new video explains how to build one’s fighting style and customize their “combat deck,” and also details the game’s mentorship system.

While Absolver is Sloclap’s first game, the studio is largely made up of ex-Ubisoft Paris veterans. Go ahead and check out the title’s combat tutorial video below, and be sure to stay tuned to Paste for more on the game closer to its release.
