BrokenLore: Ascend, a first-person psychological horror from Serafini Productions, has a date: January 7, 2027 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and PC via Steam. PlayStation announced the window on Wednesday, October 7, with a new trailer. Gematsu confirmed the three platforms from the developer's announcement.
What the game promises
In the game, Ren and Yui, urban climbers famous for the channel SKYLIMIT, attempt a forbidden nighttime ascent of Elysium Tower, described as Japan's tallest building. What starts as a stunt for the audience becomes a pursuit by a Rokurokubi, a figure from Japanese folklore used here as a reflection of the fear of being forgotten. The higher they climb, the more reality unravels. Stopping means losing the channel; reaching the top may cost their sanity or their lives.
The Steam page describes climbing and stealth mechanics. The PCGamingWiki entry lists Unreal Engine 5, single-player only, and publishers Serafini Productions and Soft Source. At the time of this article, the Steam store showed January 6, 2027 as the planned date, one day before the PlayStation and Gematsu announcement. That gap is common when the storefront uses the shop time zone; the date given by the developer and PlayStation is January 7, 2027.
BrokenLore: Ascend joins a short series from Serafini, a Japanese horror studio that is also preparing Signal Veil, another survival game with a 1990s anime look and no release date yet. The official trailer is on the PlayStation post.
