Unawake Showcases Its Visceral First-Person Melee Combat In The Steam Next Fest Demo

Following a strong Gamescom showing, the indie gem powered by Unreal Engine 5 is ready to take on a new challenge.

Oberhaching, Germany, October 5, 2023 – After a strong showing at Gamescom 2023, Unawake, the up-and coming first-person Action RPG from Turkish indie development team RealityArts Studio and publisher Toplitz Productions is ready to take on Steam Next Fest.

Available from October 9 to October 16, 2023, players all over the world can get their initial glimpse of the intense first person melee battles utilizing a plethora of weapons and dozens of special skills to decimate the diverse enemy groups waiting for you in a demo specifically designed for Steam Next Fest.

Building on the content of the Alpha demo that was shown to the general public as well as media at this year’s Gamescom, the version for Steam Next Fest showcases not only the intensity of the brutal skirmishes, but offers a deeper look into the mechanics, content and lore of the highly anticipated action game. Using a highly modified Unreal Engine 5, Unawake not only pushes the envelope in terms of gameplay, but also visually, bringing the eternal conflict between the forces of heaven and hell in semi-open environments to highly detailed life.

Ismail Kemal, main designer of Unawake and co-founder of RealityArts Studio, comments: “We are very happy to be part of Steam Next Fest. After the great feedback we have collected from Gamescom, we can’t wait for more players to get their hands on a new version of Unawake and experience first hand what it feels like when you mix intense first person combat with the itemization depth as well as the accessibility of Action RPGs like Diablo. We are especially delighted to give all players a chance to take a look at the underlying features like special attacks, item attributes and so on.”

Unawake will be available in 2024 for PC and current gen consoles. More information about the story and the various gameplay systems will be released in the coming weeks and months.

A new jaw-dropping trailer for Unawake will be available on October 9th.

Also featured in Steam Next Fest will be a demo for Pirates Odyssey, a cozy strategy mix from the creative minds at ProduktivKeller Studio and SunDust Publishing, a subsidiary of Toplitz Productions.
