Beaten Path will launch in 2027 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Switch, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. The Kickstarter-funded turn-based tactical RPG is developed by Peacebreak Studio and published by Wales Interactive. Its multiplatform release brings grid-based battles inspired by Final Fantasy Tactics and Fire Emblem into a world ruled by fallen gods and ancient machines.
The story follows Panna and her companions as they uncover a forgotten war and the heroine’s place within it. Lost memories, former allies, and ruined machinery are connected to a fate that keeps repeating. The time-loop mystery runs through the journey, turning every recovered clue into another piece of a larger truth.
Combat rewards positioning, unit synergy, and careful use of terrain. Players can flank enemies, combine decisive abilities, and shape every recruit through a flexible job system. Dual-class loadouts, stat-boosting traits, equippable skills, and unlockable outfits create room for different builds, allowing the party to evolve around a preferred tactical approach as the campaign develops.
Exploration takes place across an illustrated overworld shaped by changing weather, unusual landmarks, and narrative events. Sunken temples and storm-lashed shores hide choices, challenges, and pieces of lore. The cast includes 25 fully voiced characters, each represented through distinctive 2D artwork, an individual 3D model, and a personal story. The official website for Beaten Path also outlines the game’s main systems and visual identity.
