Elta: Defy All Gods is a science-fantasy action-platformer, blending free-form melee combat, fluid platforming and sci-fi exploration. Players will get to play as Victus, an elite warrior monk seeking their lost god, Elta, in the hopes of finding a path forward for their civilization. Restoring Elta’s former power might be the key to a new, brighter future.

Brawl your way out of corrupted worlds alongside your dragon-god companion in an adrenaline-fueled action-platformer blending free-form melee combat, fluid platforming and sci-fi exploration. Become the champion of your fallen god, Elta.

With each new challenge, Victus & Elta will become stronger, unlocking new martial art techniques and devastating magic abilities. Each corrupted world they explore is sprawling and filled with hidden secrets, requiring mastery of an evolving traversal toolkit to reach the furthest of places. Mastering both explosive combat and agile platforming is crucial to becoming a true divine champion.

Developed by the indie team behind Dreamscaper, Elta: Defy All Gods aims to carve out a new space in the action-platformer genre, by taking inspiration from both brawlers and 3D metroidvania games to create a fresh, high-octane gameplay-first experience.

Focus Entertainment Publishing and Afterburner Studios are excited to announce that Elta: Defy All Gods will be copming to PC (Steam), PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on February 2, 2027.

Starting today, players can experience the beginning of Elta: Defy All Gods in a free demo available on all platforms. In this 45 to 60-minute experience, you'll get to play as Victus, a warrior monk tasked with finding their lost dragon-god and embarking on a journey featuring intense martial arts, tight platforming and sci-fi exploration. These first steps will lead players to their first boss encounter, Kan Loa’s Chosen, in an epic showdown.

With a commitment to respecting players’ time and money in a market of rising game prices, Elta: Defy All Gods will be priced at $29.99, offering a total playtime of 15-20 hours.

“We’re thrilled to bring this demo to players on all platforms so everyone can get a hands-on taste of our game,” said Ian Cofino, Co-Founder & Game Director at Afterburner Studios. “This project is incredibly close to our hearts, and we hope this free preview, paired with an accessible price point, will inspire players to jump in and continue the journey with us.”
