Testament: The Order of High Human announced for Xbox, PlayStation & PC

Testament: The Order of High Human, an original first person action-adventure RPG set in a post-apocalyptic fantasy world, is coming to Xbox, PlayStation, and PC from US-based developer Fairyship Games. Serve as guardian of the realm in a post-apocalyptic fantasy world!

Testament: The Order of High Human is an original first-person, story-based adventure with strong RPG and Metroidvania elements. Players will find themselves taking on the role of Aran - the king of High humans in the land of Tessara - as he serves as guardian of the realm. Aran has been betrayed by his brother, Arva, and robbed of his powers as the world around him is plunged into darkness and overrun by monsters.

In short, Testament: The Order of High Human is a tale of a fallen king's journey to save his realm from darkness and destruction, which - as co-creator and studio co-founder Moe Naderi explains - pays homage to leagues of different games and genres.
