Guild Saga: Vanished Worlds will launch on PS5 in May 2027, bringing a turn-based tactical RPG built around combining skills across disciplines instead of following a rigid class structure. PlayStation’s November 13 announcement says the exact release date will come closer to launch.
A new trailer accompanied the announcement.
Build a party around skill combinations
Players can customize their hero’s appearance, background, talents, and skills. The game offers around 200 skills across 10 disciplines, and abilities can change more than damage output. Some can heal allies, alter the environment, reposition characters, summon creatures, or affect turn order. Hundreds of items also let players customize their equipment and appearance.
Weather and surface effects add another layer to combat. A Geomancer can summon a mandrake, then a Hydromancer can bring rain to help it grow. An Aeromancer can electrify nearby puddles, paralyzing enemies standing in them. The sequence turns abilities from three disciplines into a combination that uses both the party and the battlefield.
Companions have their own histories and personal quests, and players can customize their equipment, abilities, and attributes. Dialogue and shared experiences can also lead to friendships or romance, giving party relationships a place outside combat.
Side stories fill out the Respite Archipelago
The story begins with a first mission for the Heroes Guild that goes off course when a maelstrom strands the hero on an unfamiliar island. The journey continues through the Respite Archipelago, where side quests range from solving a murder and hunting monsters for bounties to settling a dispute between farm animals. Players can also follow an explorer’s trail or investigate an alchemical conspiracy.
Exploring can turn up hidden treasures, puzzles, crafting materials, and unexpected encounters. Looting, mining, and gathering herbs supply ingredients for weapons, equipment, arrows, potions, and food, giving detours a practical payoff before the next fight.
