Here's everything we know about Godfall (so far)

Earth, Water, Air, Fire, and Spirit.

At the Game Awards 2019, we got our first look at in-engine footage for a PS5 game, Godfall. Developed by Counterplay Games and published by Gearbox Publishing, Godfall is a new IP, set in a world of knights and realms of magical elements. Described as a "third-person Looter-Slasher," this game is the first official PS5 game that was revealed, although there have been plenty more since. Here's everything we know about Godfall.

Godfall story

Godfall is set in a world with multiple, distinct realms: Earth, Water, Air, Fire, and Spirit. You play as a member of the Knight's Order, who are attempting to keep the apocalypse at bay. Counterplay Games says the world was inspired by works such as Brandon Sanderson's The Stormlight Archive and Isaac Asimov's Foundation.

The official Godfall Twitter account has begun sharing some snippets of lore, detailing the creation of the world, the powerful Archons, and how they fell. All of this ties into the name of the game: Godfall.

The team is also teasing Silvermane, which could be a unique set or armor or a character. You can see the teaser below:

Does Godfall have cross-play?

Right now, we don't know if Godfall has cross-play across the PS5 and PC versions of the game. It seems likely though, given the completely co-op, PvE (player vs. environment) nature of the game.

Is Godfall a multiplayer title?

Godfall does not feature PvP multiplayer. However, it does allow you to play together in co-op. You can play with one or two friends as you slash and loot together.

Is Godfall an MMO?

Godfall is not an MMO. While you can play co-op with a couple of friends, you won't be teaming up in massive groups.

Is Godfall coming to PS4?

No, Godfall is not a cross-generation game and is a PS5 console exclusive.

Is Godfall coming to PC?

Yes, in addition to launching on PS5, Godfall will be available on PC through the Epic Games Store. It will launch alongside the PS5 version of the game.

Is Godfall coming to Xbox One?

No, Godfall is not coming to Xbox One. It is a console exclusive for PlayStation and will not be available on current-generation consoles. Right now, we're not sure if Godfall is a timed exclusive or something more permanent. If it is a timed exclusive, it's possible it could come to Xbox Series X at a later date.

When is the release date for Godfall?

Godfall is a launch title for the PlayStation 5. We don't know exactly when the PS5 will release but it is currently scheduled to be sometime in Holiday 2020. No prices or preorder information have become available yet.

The hidden cost of food delivery

More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
