It was beloved enough that it earned a place on our Shacknews Top 10 Indie Games of 2018 list. Many agree that Ashen is perhaps one of the better Souls-like games to have come out. This is A44’s next big project since 2018’s impeccable Ashen. The woman and cat-like creator are Nor and Enki, respectively, and they’ll be the protagonists of A44 Games’ new action-RPG as they take on a journey of “vengeance, gunpowder, and magic in humanity’s last stand.” It ends with her drawing a flintlock pistol to finish the last undead warrior off. She dispatches one on her own as her companion uses magic to subdue another. Suddenly, undead creatures spring to life and attack her.

The trailer is entirely cinematic, but shows a female warrior and a cat-like animal companion wandering through a ruined war camp. Kepler Interactive and A44 Games announced Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn with a reveal trailer on A44’s YouTube channel on March 15, 2022. It’s a new action-RPG from the Ashen studio that’s set to release sometime in 2022 on consoles and PC. Alongside publisher Kepler Interactive, A44 Games has announced Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn.

Now, the studio is ready to show players its next big thing.

A44 Games won a lot of hearts over with the Souls-like design of Ashen.
