Stray Blade trailers
The first look we got at the game was in the announcement trailer, which came about on August 25 2021. That trailer gave us some snippets of gameplay and an idea of what kind of game Stray Blade is.
Exactly one year later, at Gamescom 2022, we got our next look with two trailers: the gameplay trailer and the progression trailer. The gameplay trailer is fairly self-explanatory, and the progression trailer shows off how players can craft and upgrade their weapons and their character.
Then in October, we got the Stray Blade story trailer. This introduced the story of the game, how the player will travel to a land called Acrea and meet a companion named Boji.

Stray Blade gameplay
As we have seen from the trailers, Stray Blade is an action RPG that seems to take some cues from some FromSoftware games. There seems to be a bit more RPG to the game than that might imply, however, as exploration and discovery are big parts of the game.
Players will travel around the land of Acrea, fighting enemies large and small, levelling up and collecting resources for upgrades. It seems like pretty standard fare for this kind of game, but impressive considering it is coming from an independent studio.

Stray Blade platforms
Now that we know all we can about Stray Blade, the last but arguably most important detail is where can we play it. Unfortunate news for folks who have yet to jump to the current generation of consoles, as this game is not coming to Xbox One or PlayStation 4. In order to play the game, you will have to pick it up on PC, PlayStation 5, or Xbox Series S and X.
