LONDON, UK – April 10, 2024 – Embark on a gripping mission to reforge humanity's future in Gestalt: Steam & Cinder, an eagerly anticipated, stunningly handcrafted action-RPG, launching May 21st on Steam.
Developed by Metamorphosis Games and executive produced by gaming personalities Jesse Cox and Dodger, Gestalt: Steam & Cinder
invites players to unleash their inner flame as Aletheia, an elite
mercenary of the Steam City of Canaan, in an all-new adventure inspired
by classic Metroidvanias and action-RPGs.
A seemingly routine job catapults Aletheia into a whirlwind journey to uncover long-buried secrets lying at the heart of Canaan and fight for mankind’s survival as the Steam City teeters on the brink of war.

rivals, smash through hordes of Clockwork automata, and work with allies
new and old to uncover powerful lore. Upgrade your abilities, take on
side jobs to earn extra scrap, and delve into a history lost to time on a
journey to hunt ancient enigmas threatening the very foundation of
Canaan.
