Beaten Path: trailer unveils its world of fallen gods

Wales Interactive and Peacebreak Studio have dropped a new trailer for Beaten Path, their tactical RPG funded on Kickstarter. And this time, we move past the written pitch to see the game's engine in motion, with its grid-based battles and hand-drawn overworld.

The video lingers on the tactical clashes: positioning, unit synergies, terrain exploitation. The kind of sequences that directly recall Final Fantasy Tactics and Fire Emblem, references the developers themselves openly acknowledge. We also catch a glimpse of Panna, the heroine, making her way through settings marked by looping time: sunken temples, storm-swept coastlines, ancient machines half-buried in the ground. The visual atmosphere clearly leans toward a blend of mysticism and rusted mechanics.

As for the schedule, the studio confirms it is aiming for 2027 for a worldwide release on PS5, Xbox Series, Switch and PC (Steam, Epic Games Store) - see our dedicated article for details on the release window. No precise date for a playable demo or a new showcase has leaked so far. A game to keep an eye on, especially if you're nostalgic for old-school tactical RPGs.
