The Relic: First Guardian was originally scheduled to launch on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch 2, and PC on May 26. Unfortunately, publisher Perp Games and developer Project Cloud Games have officially announced the delay.

As a result, this single-player Souls-like action RPG will launch in the summer of 2026. The exact date is currently unknown. The news was announced in a statement written by Rob Edwards, CEO of Perp Games.

"The Relic: First Guardian is the first game made by the talented Project Cloud Games studio. It’s a highly ambitious title that has seen years of hard work poured into it. Given this, the team want to take just a little more time to polish their world and hence announce that we are pushing back the release date from May 26th to the summer of 2026."
