An interview with Sean Halliday (Influencer Manager) about Deathbound - an indie Souls-like game by Trialforge Studio.
During the interview, I get to ask him as to how Trialforge Studio's effort was able to garner the interest of his parent company, Tate Multimedia – a Polish videogame publisher with titles on numerous handhelds and consoles. At the same time, I was also able to glean some information about his own career trajectory, and how he ended up working with Tate Multimedia.
And with Deathbound having been released in August on PlayStation 5, XBox Series, and PC formats, I was able to ascertain as to whether players can expect to receive any DLC content in future, and what the developer (Trialforge Studio) intends to do next… Enjoy!
Darren Kelly said: Deathbound is a new addition to the ever growing Soulslike genre, developed by Trailforge Studios and published by Tate Multimedia. It was released on 8th August, 2024.
Everywhere you look, a new souslike is cropping up. It’s a subgenre ruled by FromSoftware and one that, while it has an ever-growing and extensive list of entrants, is rarely done right. In everyone’s bid to both capture the lightning in the bottle that is the Souls series and carve out their own path with unique mechanics, settings or any number of standout features. It’s a tall order, to say the least. And it’s one that Trialforge Studio hopes to fill with Deathbound, the latest of the soulslikes to step through the foggy wall. - IS
