DualShockers has officially named The Relic: First Guardian as “The Sleeping Giant” and one of the “10 Upcoming Soulslikes to Keep on Your Radar in 2026.”
–
Describing the game as “The Sleeping Giant” of the genre, DualShockers highlighted exactly what makes this project so special:
“The Relic: First Guardian is going to be this year’s First Berserker: Khazan. I just have a feeling. It has a unique art style and combat that looks spectacular, with an athletic-looking protagonist that moves quite a bit more fluidly than a Soulslike character generally does.”

This latest feature follows the recent GAMERANT’s “The Next 5 Big Fantasy RPGs” solidifying The Relic as a true contender in the 2026 RPG landscape.
The Relic: First Guardian launches later this year on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam. Wishlist now.
