Full one-minute Godfall trailer leaks but developer says it’s old

When Godfall was unveiled at The Game Awards last month it was all a bit of a shock, as even though it was nothing to do with Sony (Borderlands’ Gearbox are the publisher) it was the first footage ever of a PlayStation 5 game.

The announce trailer was extremely short though, and didn’t really explain anything, but this leaked footage reveals that it’s a third person melee combat game vaguely in the Dark Souls mould.

At first only a five second clip leaked, at which point it could’ve been a fake, but now a full minute long trailer has appeared on Reddit and Counterplay Games have confirmed it’s real.

There are two major caveats though, the first being that the trailer is over a year old and the second that it’s not PlayStation 5 footage anyway.

Still, it looks good, if a little generic, although even with this leaked trailer we still have no confirmed details to go on, beyond what you can infer from the footage.

The only game Counterplay has made before this is collectable card game Duelyst, but they’re a big team of 75 people, with games ranging from God Of War to Destiny 2 and Battlefield 3 in their collective CV.

Although Godfall is a console exclusive on PlayStation 5 it will also be released on PC, which according to rumours is also the fate for Horizon Zero Dawn and The Last Of Us Part 2 – and perhaps all future Sony games.

Godfall is supposed to be a PlayStation 5 launch game and out this year, although given the recent run of luck with release dates maybe it’s best not to take that as a definite.
