Known as 'Cyberpunk 2077's' biggest fan, Angharad is a Welsh games writer who thrives in anything related to digital storytelling. If a video game explores the intricacies and horrors of womanhood, she is there.

Combining the vast open-world of Elden Ring with the dark setting of The Last of Us, this upcoming PvE action-horror game set during the medieval era will test how far you are willing to go to survive. With the ability to play solo or with up to three friends, you will face all manner of monsters and men as you embark on a battle for survival.

Set to launch some time in the future, Blight: Survival combines horror with deep exploration to give players an experience unlike any other.

Blight Gives Off Real Elden Ring Vibes

With a deadly plague spreading across the land, it is up to you to stand up against mortals and monsters alike as you attempt to reach the source of the Blight. Set in no man's land, a space between two warring kingdoms locked in a ceaseless war, this action-horror experience will see you fight the monstrous beings who have emerged from the Blight. However, with the monsters strengthened from the constant blood that is being spilled, it is up to you and your fellow Writhens to take them down.

As the only ones willing to fight to the source of the plague, you and your kin will embark on a deadly adventure which combines visceral combat inspired by roguelites and extraction games, with the horror elements found in the likes of The Last of Us and Resident Evil.

Horror Fans, Keep An Eye On This One

Although Blight: Survival may look like your standard medieval RPG on the surface, its horror roots run deep, appealing to fans of both genres. As you fight alongside up to three friends, you will be able to enjoy a stunning co-op experience all whilst putting your decision-making to the test. Will you keep fighting, or focus on hoarding the spoils of war? However, with a combat system which appeals to both newbies and veterans alike, how far you can push yourself will be up to you with weapons, armor, and talents to customize along the way.

Set in a brutal yet stunning decaying world, Blight: Survival does not yet have a full release date, but there is no doubt that fans of medieval settings and horror elements will want to add this one to their Steam wishlist. If you loved Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, The Last of Us, Resident Evil, or Elden Ring, then you will love this combination of some of gaming's best.
