In case you missed the news, Praey For The Gods is gearing up for more closed beta tests. From there the game is scheduled to launch in full some six to nine months after the first series of closed beta tests begin. So don’t expect the game to arrive on home consoles and PC until fall, 2018.

However, if you’re planning on getting the game for PC, the system requirements were quietly rolled out over on the Steam store page, which indicates that the game’s minimum requirements will see you needing:

OS: 64-bit Windows 7
Processor: Intel CPU Core i5-2500K 3.3GHz, AMD CPU Phenom II X4 940.
Memory: 6 GB RAM
Graphics: Nvidia GPU GeForce GTX 660 or AMD GPU Radeon HD 7870
DirectX: Version 11
Storage: 20 GB available space
Additional Notes: DirectX 11 is necessary to run the game.

The recommended requirements are as follows:

OS: 64-bit Windows 7 or 64-bit Windows 8 (8.1) or Windows 10
Processor: Intel CPU Core i7 3770 3,4 GHz, AMD CPU AMD FX-8350 4 GHz
Memory: 6 GB RAM
Graphics: Nvidia GPU GeForce GTX 770 or AMD GPU Radeon R9 290
DirectX: Version 11
Storage: 20 GB available space
Additional Notes: DirectX 11 is necessary to run the game.

It’s not too hard to see why the requirements are slightly steeper than the usual indie outing.

Praey For The Gods features physics-based combat, destructible environments, and larger-than-life colossi that will challenge even the most finger-adept gamers in their ability to wrangle with the ancient ones.

Unfortunately, gameplay footage has been quite limited, but the last video came out in the spring of 2017, featuring a fight taking place on the back of a giant winged creature.

You can see that there are screen filter effects for the icy cold atmosphere, along with the fluttering feathers blowing in the wind while the creature flies around the sky. Visually, there are a lot of moving parts in play, which seems to justify in some way the necessity of a slightly higher end graphics card than the usual GTX 460 that most games trot out.

As far as development is concerned, despite the unfortunate setback with the name-change, the team have reworked the camera control system, so that it’s less obtrusive and more inclusive, and they’ve also added some new gameplay mechanics to the fold such as being able to leap backward off ledges after climbing.

While it’s obvious the full release won’t arrive until late into 2018, the closed beta test is supposedly going to take place in early 2018. How early? Don’t know yet. However, you can keep track of the game’s development by visiting the official Praey For The Gods website.
