Soulmask, the survival game that's basically Palworld but with people, is finally leaving early access, and it's coming with an ancient Egyptian DLC

Soulmask will hit 1.0 later this year.

When I first played Soulmask last year, it was set in a lush, Mayan jungle. Now, with its full 1.0 release coming later this year, we're also getting the Shifting Sands DLC that adds an ancient Egyptian flair.

A poetic and trippy trailer at today's PC Gaming Show Tokyo Direct has revealed that the full game is launching later this year alongside an Egyptian gods-themed DLC.

Starting off strong with a woman falling off a pyramid suspended in the sky into a vast desert below, we then see several boats take to the air. Rather than the ancient Egypt from textbooks, this is the civilization of conspiracy theory, mixing myth with alien technology.

These Solar Barges utilize anti-gravity technology to fly high above the pyramids that litter the new desert landscape. Don the visage of Horus, Anubis, and more of the pantheon, and imbue yourself with their powers so that you can soar on mystic wings rather than fall to your demise.

It's a far cry from the start where you're simply gathering rocks and sticks and making rudimentary tools, and I'm excited to see what else the game takes from Egyptian history and legend.

Soulmask is launching fully later this year, and the Shifting Sands DLC will be available for purchase at the same time. You can find the early access version of the game now on Steam.
