FromSoftware fans often look for the next best Soulsborne fix to test their skills and patience against some of the most gruelling video games the sub-genre has to offer.
Check out the Steelrising trailer below!
Almost a year to the day when Elden Ring was released,FromSoftwareand publisherBandai Namcoannounced its first expansion,Shadow of the Erdtree. There were rumours thatShadow of the Erdtreecould be released very soon, but at the time of writing, we’re still awaiting itsrelease date announcement.

“If you enjoy Souls games and the basic gameplay loop or if you’re interested in the genre but wary of the difficulty, this is a good game,saidDG83GamingEnthusiast recommendingSteelrisingto fellow members of the Reddit thread.
“I’ve been really digging it, but also I haven’t really gotten any Soulsborne games to really click. The difficulty and repetition aren’t my thing at all, and I love that this gives me a similar style of play without the irritation,” replied IronMonopoly.
“Unpopular opinion, but I feel combat inSteelrisingis better than most Souls games. The combat is faster paced, weapons are also quite diverse with different move sets, and the narration is also better,” explained Particular-Captain13 with a hot take. “Also, if you don’t have the time to “git good” in FromSoftware games but still have the itch for Soulsborne, thenSteelrisingis amazing. It’s easy to get into with a satisfying parry mechanic.”
As suggested above, much of the Reddit thread says thatSteelrisingis much easier than FromSoftware titles, so if you’re looking for a way into the Soulsborne formula, perhaps this recent PS Plus freebie could be an ideal introduction.
