The creators of Slain: Back From Hell revealed today that their next heavy metal inspired action title, Valfaris, will be out on October 10th for PC (Steam, GOG and Humble Store).

Unlike Slain, which was set in a more “generic” metal-themed universe, Valfaris takes place in a mysterious fortress orbiting a dying sun. There will be plenty of time for headbanging between all the monster killing though, if the following trailer is any indication of the way the game will play out.

After mysteriously vanishing from galactic charts, the fortress of Valfaris has suddenly reappeared in the orbit of a dying sun. Once a self-contained paradise, the grandiose citadel now plays host to an ever-growing darkness.

Therion, a fearless and proud son of Valfaris, returns to his home to uncover the truth of its doomed fate and to challenge the arcane evil at its very heart.
