COSM-GAME Nodusfall
Nodusfall is a dark fantasy action game from HoYoverse set in a mythic era before recorded history, where the creator god has fallen silent and the world is overrun by the Dreadnodi, legendary beasts corrupted by calamity. You play as a Weaver, a warrior forged by the Divine and cast down into the mortal world, whose task is to roam wild regions inspired by world mythologies and slay these colossal creatures. Hunts play out as weighty, close-quarters combat with large weapons and divine powers, and they can be tackled alone or alongside other players in cooperative multiplayer. Between battles, you explore distinct lands, forge bonds with other heroes, and piece together the mystery of your own shattered past. The game is free-to-play and, unlike HoYoverse's earlier titles, does not sell characters through random draws.

Release date and status

Gameplay and setting
Nodusfall is a realistic-style dark fantasy action game built in Unreal Engine 5. Players take the role of a Weaver, a being forged by a fallen creator god and cast into the mortal world, and travel a mythic continent whose regions draw on Eastern and Western mythology. The core loop is hunting the Dreadnodi, colossal corrupted beasts such as manticore-like and dragon-like creatures, in deliberate, weapon-heavy combat. Hunts can be played solo or in cooperative multiplayer, and small-scale PvP content is also planned. Between hunts, players explore open regions, meet and bond with other heroes, and uncover the story of the fallen Divine and their own shattered identity. The game is free-to-play and does not sell characters through random draws, with monetization instead centered on non-character elements.
Trailer, screenshots, and media
The selected media show the first reveal trailer with Unreal Engine 5 cinematics and early gameplay, key art of warriors clashing with colossal beasts, and screenshots of boss encounters, characters, and the game's dark fantasy world.
