We meet our protagonist who appears to be an artist who lives in a noble and peaceful land called Tang. However, when the land is invaded and he is assassinated, he laments that he will never be able to finish his play. Just before he takes his last breath, he finds a mask which not only saves his life but also grants him supernatural powers. With his newfound abilities, he fights off attackers, claims their powers and then must set off on a journey to liberate Tang.
Not much else is known aboutThe Perceiver’sstory but theofficial websiteclaims we will “witness a kaleidoscope of ideals” in a “quagmire of endless war”. Additionally, the land of Tang will be ours to explore with secrets hiding in every corner and seemingly each mask our protagonist uncovers will grant them unique personalities.
AlthoughThe Perceiveris yet to receive a release date, it hasn’t stopped potential fans from getting excited about the next Soulslike title. It just remains to be seen if it will live up to its predecessors.
