Press release:
Lesquin, 17 March 2022.
During the ID@Xbox Showcase on 16 March, French publisher NACON and the Chilean studio ACE Team presented the first gameplay images for “Clash: Artifacts of Chaos“.

The game, scheduled for release in November 2022, offers a unique blend of exploration and unarmed combat. The player will develop a friendship with a frail creature and protect it from mercenaries, within a universe which graphics style will surprise most players.

Clash: Artifacts of Chaos, developed by the studio behind the widely-praised The Eternal Cylinder, is set in the strange universe of Zenozoik, a punk-fantasy world introduced in Zeno Clash 1 & 2. You play as Pseudo, an accomplished fighter who lives as a recluse. Your encounter with the Boy leads you to explore this surreal world to protect him against the Mistress of the Artefacts that covets the mysterious powers of this little creature.

Pseudo is confronted by strange enemies. The player is free to adapt to situations and the specific abilities of the opponents by alternating between various martial arts. Before each combat the player can choose to challenge the enemies using the Ritual, a board game that could provide advantages or handicaps. At the end of the Ritual, the player may see their opponent’s movements limited by a chain, be forced to fight in a fog cloud, or even summon a monster as an ally.

With release planned for November 2022, Clash: Artifacts of Chaos will be available on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, PS5, Steam and Epic. More information about the game will be provided at a later date.
