Meridiem has announced that The Bearer & The Last Flame will launch digitally for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam on 6 March 2026, alongside two physical editions for PlayStation 5. Developed by Dark Reaper Studio, this epic dark fantasy action-adventure—created entirely by a single developer—draws inspiration from classic Soulslike titles and immerses players in a world plagued by death and decay.

Meridiem will produce two physical editions: the Standard Edition, which includes the full PS5 game, and The Knight’s Edition, which adds a game guide and a premium collector’s sleeve.

In the farthest reaches of humanity’s extinct domains, darkness has swallowed every sign of life. Bloodthirsty warriors wander as lost souls seeking rest in the underworld, where demons, abyssal fiends, and soulless sorcerers roam freely. The land is suffocating under shadow, with only the faintest traces of light remaining.

But in the high mountains of Selender, a fragile spark has emerged.

A living soul has been chosen. Carry the last flame, illuminate the lands of night, and return the fearsome creatures to the abyss.
