No Matter Studios has announced that its Shadow of the Colossus-inspired game, Praey for the Gods will be coming to Steam Early Access on January 31st. In order to celebrate this announcement, the team has also released a brand new gameplay trailer that you can find below.
Praey for the Gods is described as a brutal journey set on a desolate frozen island, where your only chance of survival is to destroy the very gods you believe in. Gamers will play a lone hero sent to the edge of a dying world to discover the mystery behind a never-ending winter.
“Arriving with only the clothes on your back, you must survive the colossal dangers that you encounter. To restore balance and reclaim the land from the brink, you will be faced with questions that not even a God knows the answer to.”
The Steam Early Access version of the game will feature all the game content the team achieved in its Kickstarter campaign. This basically means that the 5 bosses are done and fully playable, along with cutscenes, open world exploration, minions, puzzles, and all the additional Kickstarter Backer Content.
“It’s a fully playable game that is exactly what you backed us for when we started on this journey. However, we love working on this game and our engine and tools have come leaps and bounds since we started development. This is allowing us to develop faster and better and it feels silly to stop development on the game when we’ve just hit our stride. While Chien is working on getting the game further optimized and certified for PS4/Xbox One, Tim and I will add what additional stretch goal content we can prior to a final launch on consoles. We found this to be a win/win for both PC backers and console backers as PC backers will get the game as well as additional content over time and console backers will have some fresh content and a somewhat spoiler free conclusion to the game.”
Enjoy!

Inspired? Looks exactly like Shadow of the Colossus.
make sure you report this case to pakistani authorities, if there’s any copyright issues, they know best how to handle these things.
The original SOTC was great and the remastered was even better. This looks ok I guess and I do appreciate games that try to make boss battles more believable by climbing, instead of stabbing the boss’s feet until the hp drops to zero.
Early access??
Praey to the Gods that it dont sucks!
Awesome! I backed these guys on KS back in the day, very cool that we will finally be able to play it.
Fingers crossed it owns.
This looks graet.
I see what you did there… 🙂
Did you? Did you raelly?
LOL, I bet most did not even notice it cause our brain doesn’t care when we read in what order X words are in.
It is pretty crazy that is for sure 🙂
bruh i noticed it when i saw it xD its clear as day
when the sh*t smells good.
It’s going to be an even longer way, considering it’s entering ea.
They said on their Steam blurb that it will take another 6-12 months, so that’s already half to a full year.
ea still means cobbled together, containing bugs and lacking in polish/paint.
uuh, wat. This game was teased to us like 2 years ago, why the hell is it only now entering early access?.
Come on devs, stop pulling this “we blew the money, now we need more “approach. This is exactly why I’ve given up on ea games, because this sort of crap always happens when you either slouch off or blow your money.
[ update – Notice ] the keys just went out to all the KS backers, I just got mine! Check your emails for those that backed it, I really hope it owns.
Bought it last night>refunded after exactly 45mins. Game is created with Unity.. Performance is terrible. Played it with 1080+8700k, and not even 70fps, plus horrible+massive frame drops down to even 10 into Cave’s+specific boss fight. It’s unplayable atm. Dunno if devs creates games to be rdy to play in 2050, or they trolling with speccs. Just buy>try>refund my suggestion.
