Brutal Combat with a Medieval Twist

• New Melee Weapons: The game features a range of medieval-inspired melee weapons, including a flail, spiked mace, and electrified gauntlet, each offering unique combat dynamics.

• Atlan Mech and Cyber-Dragon: Players can pilot a 30-story mech and ride a cybernetic, fire-breathing dragon, adding a new dimension to the combat experience.

• Enhanced Glory Kills: The game features a revamped glory kill system, allowing players to execute more visceral and satisfying takedowns.

Expansive Exploration and Customization
