Press release:
Madrid, Spain – 26 November 2025. Meridiem is pleased to announce that The Bearer & The Last Flame will be released digitally for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam and physically in two editions for PlayStation 5 on 6 March 2026.

Developed by Dark Reaper Studio, The Bearer & The Last Flame is an epic action-adventure dark fantasy game, created by a single developer, inspired by classic Soulslike titles that will immerse you in a world ravaged by death.

Meridiem has been responsible for the design and creation of the physical editions: The Bearer & The Last Flame – Standard Edition for PlayStation 5, which includes the PlayStation 5 game and The Bearer & The Last Flame – The Knight’s Edition, which includes, in addition to the PS5 game, a game guide and a special sleeve.

In the far reaches of the extinct land of men, darkness has ravaged every sign of life. The lost souls of bloodthirsty warriors seek rest in the underworld, where demons of the abyss, the darkest creatures, and soulless sorcerers dwell. Darkness looms over the land, and only faint traces of light remain. There is no solace for life, yet in the high mountains of Selender, a glimmer of hope has emerged.

A living soul has received its charge. Carry the last flame, illuminate the lands of night, and return the fearsome creatures back into the abyss.
