Mameshiba Games will launch Relic Abyss, a hand-crafted bullet heaven roguelite RPG, into Early Access on November 26, 2025. Players will delve into a dying world that is slowly being eaten by a dangerous “Abyss.” Best of all, the launch will happen simultaneously across PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and both Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One.

The game’s narrative unfolds across six planned chapters. However, only the first three chapters will be available at the Early Access launch. Throughout the story, the protagonist must solve ancient mysteries by meeting a cast of enigmatic allies and foes. Furthermore, the developers took inspiration from atmospheric tales like Made in Abyss to create a sense of dangerous descent and existential wonder.

The core gameplay centers on the addictive swarm mechanics of Survivors-like bullet heaven games. You command up to 15 unlockable characters, with abilities ranging from fast archers to large guardians. Therefore, strategic positioning is crucial. You must dodge complex patterns while simultaneously linking strong attacks together. This lets you build overwhelming power, clear the arenas, and gain relics for progression.

Between high-stakes runs, you can relax in a hub town that acts as a city builder. Here, you can spend resources on permanent upgrades, recruit companions, and customize defenses against attacks from the Abyss. Looking ahead, the full 1.0 release is planned for about one year after Early Access. This major update will add even more depth with future content like fishing, cooking mini-games, and a gacha system for rare loot.
