The gameplay continues Housemarque's third-person action tradition but with several new mechanics, as showcased at the State of Play event. Arjun's combat suit supports fast dashes, jumps, and many unique melee attack combos. The Soltari Shield absorbs incoming projectiles, and all the absorbed energy fuels your weapon.

Arjun also has a Second Chance ability, which, once unlocked, can be used to rise back up from your first death in a mission.

Beyond the fast-paced action, the game also seems to have a promising narration. You can expect several cinematic cutscenes and details throughout the world of Carcosa. The tone of the game will be further supported by its sound design and composition by Grammy-winning composer Sam Slater.
