SNACK three-line summary
- The Relic: First Guardian will launch first on PS5 and PC on July 31, while Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2 are officially set to follow this summer according to the official trailer.
- The description for Perp Games’ official trailer directly lists the date and platforms, while the official Steam page still says Coming soon, so PC players may want to watch for the store listing to update as well.
- Pricing and pre-order timing have not been officially announced yet, so today’s news is mainly about when and where the game is arriving.
Snackgirls editor note
Red: “More than just a release date notice, the key point is that the structure is now clear all at once: PS5 and PC first, Switch 2 and Xbox later.”
AIKO: “Since the Steam page still says Coming soon, PC players can get a clearer picture by checking both today’s official trailer announcement and when the store page reflects it.”
The Relic: First Guardian has made its next move through a release date trailer on publisher Perp Games’ official YouTube channel. The trailer description directly states a July 31 launch on PS5 and PC, with Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2 following later this summer.
The reason today’s announcement is welcome is that it goes beyond a simple “coming soon” status and immediately separates which platforms the game will reach first. In particular, the fact that Switch 2 is already listed in the official trailer description is a fairly direct signal for players looking at handheld play.
What is now confirmed in the official announcement
First, PS5 and PC are set for July 31. Meanwhile, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2 are listed separately for this summer, so multiplatform players can already start narrowing down where they want to begin.
That said, the official Steam page still shows Release Date: Coming soon. For PC, it is therefore most natural to read the situation as the trailer locking in the date first, while the store listing is still waiting for a later update.
PC players will also be watching for the store update
The fact that the Steam page is already open is good news, but at this stage the key point for PC players is that “the release date was announced first through the official trailer, while the store page still says Coming soon.” That gap becomes a point to watch as the store listing is finalized ahead of launch.
On the other hand, pricing and pre-order timing were still not officially announced within this check. So for today, it is more practical to organize platform priority and the actual arrival order rather than make a purchase decision.
What players waiting today should watch
For players following soulslike action games, this announcement is not just about whether the game is coming. It helps decide whether to start first on PS5 or PC, or wait for the Switch 2 version. If portability is the priority, the next point to watch is when the follow-up Switch 2 timing becomes more specific.
The clearest change in this announcement is that the launch order has now been officially split by platform. Even with pricing and pre-order timing still empty, it is now much clearer which platform to manage on your wishlist.
