Developer Darkstar has announced that its vaguely Souls-esque boss rush action-RPG, Sinner: Sacrifice for Redemption, will launch on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Switch on October 18th.

Sinner: Sacrifice for Redemption follows the sombre combat-focussed adventures of Adam (yet more proof that real-world names always sound slightly silly in a fantasy setting) as he journeys through a "dark and forbidding realm" in order to "understand and deal with his past."

This especially bleak journey of self-discovery takes the form of eight "hard but fair" boss battles, each inspired by one of Adam's past sins. By Darkstar's own admission, the whole thing is heavily inspired by the Souls series, with a spot of Shadow of the Colossus thrown in, but it sounds like the game does plenty to forge its own identity.
