Guild Saga: Vanished Worlds Tactical RPG Is Coming to PS5 in May 2027
The story-driven tactical RPG has a May 2027 PS5 window, a new trailer and a closer look at its skill combos, companions and island exploration.
What was announced
PlayStation Blog has confirmed that Guild Saga: Vanished Worlds will launch on PS5 in May 2027. Only the month has been given so far. The post says the exact release details will be shared later.
Alongside the window, the team released a new trailer and walked through how it approached combat, companions and exploration.
The story and setup
You play a new recruit on a first mission for the Heroes Guild. A mysterious maelstrom leaves you stranded on an unfamiliar island.
Beyond the shore are dangerous creatures, suspicious alchemists and a busy town full of people to meet and side quests to find. The aim is to build a party, command the battlefield and uncover the mysteries of the archipelago.
How combat and character building work
Instead of a rigid class system, the game lets you combine skills from different disciplines freely. Skills can deal damage, heal allies, change the environment, reposition units, summon creatures or alter the turn order. Hundreds of items shape both your build and your character's look.
Combat is tactical and turn-based, with about 200 skills spread across ten disciplines. Surfaces and weather matter, and both can change how skills behave.
The blog gives one example of a combo across three disciplines:
- A Geomancer summons a mandrake.
- A Hydromancer makes it rain, which waters the mandrake and makes it grow stronger.
- An Aeromancer uses lightning to electrify the puddles, paralyzing anyone standing in them.
Companions and crafting
Companions each have their own history and personal quests. Their equipment, abilities and attributes can be fully customized. Through dialogue and shared experiences you learn more about them, and the post says friendships and romance can become part of the journey.
Preparation also counts. Looting, mining and gathering herbs yield materials for crafting weapons, equipment, arrows, potions and food.
Exploration and side quests
The main quest gives direction, but the islands are meant to reward wandering. The blog mentions side quests such as solving a murder mystery, hunting feared monsters for bounty money and settling a deadly dispute between farm animals. Others involve following a famed explorer's imagination or uncovering an alchemical conspiracy.
Hidden treasures, puzzles, valuable crafting resources and unexpected encounters are scattered around. Ancient books and forgotten notes reveal more of the world's past.
What happens next
The next thing to watch for is the exact PS5 release date, which the post says will come later. Until then, May 2027 is the only timing confirmed. The source does not mention a price, editions or other platforms, so those remain unannounced.
