Winter Ember, the stealth adventure game from Sky Machine Studios and Blowfish Studios, sees Arthur Artorias take down an unscrupulous militant organization from deep within the shadows. Available on PlayStation 5, Playstation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Windows PC via Steam and GOG today (19th April 20222), it will also be available later this year on Nintendo Switch.
Heavy gaits of guard boots echo in harmony with the cadence of horse hooves and wagon wheels across Anargal’s cobblestone pathways. A rugged cloaked man crouches in an abandoned corridor trapped with his troubled thoughts in defining silence. Reminiscing on long-lost nobility, his heart burns with the overwhelming fire of revenge fueling the strength behind a fully-taut, arrow-loaded bow.
Become the long assumed dead aristocrat, Arthur Artorias, as he takes revenge upon Greater Heaven, an oppressive religious faction with an iron grip on the ruined remains of his homestead. Scour derelict districts of a massive Victorian city under the blanket of mist and darkness. Stealthily duck in and out of snow-covered alleyways to pilfer gorgeous estates and temples while silencing assailants unlucky enough to spot Arthur.
Craft specific arrow types to aid in the rebellion effort. Combine smoke, explosion, electricity, sleep, water, and poison elements with numerous materials to scale buildings, destroy barriers, and subdue unsuspecting cult members. Advance Arthur through three distinct skill trees, granting a deadly edge in either Combat, Stealth, or Utility. Unravel the unsettling truths behind Arthur’s painful past, the untimely fall of his family, and the motivations behind this group hell-bent on cleansing the world of “darkness” by any means necessary.
“Winter Ember’s chilling roots are planting themselves in gaming machines as we speak,” said Robert Wahby, Lead Project Director, Sky Machine Studios. “Can you scour the kingdom for precious loot and uncover the clues for the best of multiple endings to Arthur’s story without being spotted? Put your stealth and detective skills to the test and take up that challenge!”
