ROAR Games is new indie studio made up of industry veterans, and today they anonunce their debut title, Tenet Of The Spark.
Tenet Of The Spark is an action adventure game where you play as Will, a boxer who confronts street gangs and “the ghosts of his past”. That may be interpreted literally, as Will can also channel the spirit of his ancestors and go back in time.
The combat is described as “Arkham-like”, so expect a lot of combo-driven moves where counter-attacking at the right time is key. The trailer gives a good glimpse of the combat, and it seems to have that juice.
Will can slip into the world of the Vikings and the Aztecs, two different ancestors he can channel his spirit to, and transition between the three worlds in an instant. Aside from the brawling, the game will have some puzzle-solving and exploration elements.
Also, the stylised look of Tenet Of The Spark, the “neon urban” aesthetic, is heavily inspired by the Spider-Verse movies.
Tenet Of The Spark is expected to release not in 2025, but in 2026. The game is targeting a release on PC (Steam) and current-gen consoles.
