When we first met developer Kumi Souls, we were struck by just how closely and attentively the studio listens to the desires of its fanbase. That player-first approach is often a hallmark of success, and it was completely unsurprising to us that The Last Faith significantly outperformed its Kickstarter target and accrues so many Wishlists on a daily basis. That drive, coupled with the engaging world The Last Faith builds, made it a no-brainer for the Playstack family
The Last Faith is slated for release on PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch later this year. A Steam page for the game is now live and you can add the game to your wishlist if you are looking forward to playing the game when it comes out.
