A new, ambitious action-platformer blending explosive combat and fluid platforming, playable in a public demo starting October 1st

Focus Entertainment Publishing and Afterburner Studios are proud to announce Elta: Defy All Gods, coming early 2027 on PC (Steam), PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. In this adrenaline-fueled action-platformer, players will need to brawl their way out of corrupted worlds with their dragon-god companion, no matter what enemy or challenge stands in their way.

Prepare your rise as a divine champion with the upcoming demo, available on all platforms October 1st, and watch the Reveal Trailer for Elta: Defy All Gods.

Get ready to bring down the gods, for Elta

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.

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.

A new take on the action-platformer genre from Afterburner Studios

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.

“For our second title we've gone much bigger, taking all we've learned about weighty combat, satisfying gamefeel, and fluid action to another level”, says Ian Cofino, Co-Founder & Game Director at Afterburner Studios. “Focus Entertainment has been a terrific partner in our goal to create a world class action title, enabling our team to realize a very ambitious vision.”

Elta: Defy All Gods is planned for release in early 2027 and will be available on PC (Steam), Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. To let all players experience what makes Elta: Defy All Gods stand out among action-platformers, a free demo will be available October 1st on all platforms, including the beginning of the game.
