A new trailer has been released for a game inspired by Bethesda’s classic, The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall.

Canadian indie developer Electro Soul Games updated the Steam page for their new title, Broken Dagger, on the 3rd and released a trailer. Broken Dagger is a first-person open-world RPG inspired by The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall, which was first unveiled last May.

Broken Dagger is an RPG focused on exploration, freedom, and quests with multiple solutions. Quests can be resolved in various ways, such as stealth, combat, deception, or negotiation, and the world and its inhabitants are affected by the player's choices. Electro Soul Games stated, "We are dedicated to creating an open-world RPG inspired by classic Bethesda games."

Along with the trailer, the developers announced a change in their design direction. The overall graphics feature a distinct retro aesthetic, and the combat system has been changed to a weighty, high-difficulty, physics-based first-person combat system influenced by Dark Messiah of Might and Magic and Dark Souls. Positioning, timing, and utilizing the surrounding environment are critical during combat.

The video showcases some combat and interactions. You can kick ghouls into ledges or traps, or parry attacks to leave them in a groggy state. It is also possible to deal significant damage by casting fire magic at a chandelier above an enemy's head to drop it.

The Steam store page for Broken Dagger is now live. The official release date is yet to be determined, and it is scheduled to enter Early Access in the future.
