A message from us and Project Cloud Games about The Relic: First Guardian

As a small, passionate team of developers, we are extremely proud of our first game, The Relic: First Guardian. Since its launch, we have been working round the clock to improve the game, with our current focus fully on fixing technical issues and performance. We have already released two patches, but we are not stopping there. The next patch is due to be released later this evening.

We are dedicated to ensuring that our work on The Relic: First Guardian will not stop at performance and technical fixes. We will continue listening to the media, content creators, and, most importantly, the public, with all of us at Project Cloud Games supporting every aspect of the title in the weeks and months ahead.

This is just the start of our journey, and we are incredibly grateful for all the support we have been shown so far. You have our time, dedication, determination, and word that we will continue to do everything in our power to be worthy of that support.

Thank you to everyone who has been on the journey with us so far, and for those who are just joining us, we cannot wait to show you what's yet to come.

Patch 7 for #TheRelicFirstGuardian is live on PS5 & Steam!

This addresses the following issues...

Dagger Skill: Fixed an issue where dagger skills would not reactivate after their cooldown expired.

Sanctum of the Stepped Aside: Fixed a loading issue preventing entry into the cave.

Marisa Boss Area: Fixed an issue where players could not enter the boss area.

Tutorial Zone: Revamped the burning village section.

Boss 'Walden': Fixed an issue where Walden would occasionally freeze/stop moving.

Lock-on Dodge Mechanics: Adjusted dodge direction while locked-on so that it dodges relative to the camera view (player's perspective) rather than the character's facing direction.

Map Glitches: Fixed out-of-bounds/glitch areas within the land map.

Patch 8 is currently being worked on to be released tonight or tomorrow (depending on testing)

Thanks for all of your support 💜

A Message from Project Cloud Games

Post-Launch Update and Our Plans Ahead

Thank you to everyone who has shared their feedback and support since the launch of #TheRelicFirstGuardian.

The launch did not meet the standard of experience we intended to deliver. We sincerely apologise to everyone who pre-ordered the game, added it to their wishlist, supported us, and waited so patiently for its release.

During the final stages of launch preparation, our technical verification of several changes was not sufficient. As a result, some large dungeons did not unload correctly after players left those areas and remained in memory.

As this accumulated, it caused frame-rate drops and texture-loading issues in some environments, as well as problems that prevented certain events and boss encounter triggers from functioning correctly. These are issues that we should have identified and resolved before release, and we take full responsibility for that.

Since launch, we have treated these issues as our highest priority and deployed multiple updates across PC and PlayStation 5. Fixes addressing the underlying structural issue have been rolled out across the platforms, and we are continuing to resolve and verify related problems affecting players who are continuing with their existing save data.

The main improvements delivered so far include:
•Fixes for events and boss encounter triggers that could prevent progression
•Improvements to overall stability and performance
•Adjustments to combat responsiveness and balance
•Improved rewards from enemies and world chests
•Additional progression and crafting materials placed throughout the world

The game has continued to improve through these updates, but we do not consider our work complete. We are still reviewing the issues reported by players and continuing the necessary fixes and verification. We will keep delivering patches and improvements across each platform.

The Relic: First Guardian is a semi-open-world dark fantasy action RPG inspired by Korean folklore. Players explore the world of Arsilthus, uncover the stories left behind across its lands, and develop their own combat style through different equipment, Runes, and Relics.

While continuing to improve the stability of the game, we will also focus on developing and expanding these core experiences.

The main priorities for future updates will include:
•Balance and reward improvements based on player feedback
•Additional content, including new events and boss encounters that expand the world and stories of Arsilthus

We will share further details about new content and upcoming updates through our official channels as soon as they are ready.

We will continue listening to your feedback and demonstrate our commitment through meaningful updates as we work to make The Relic: First Guardian a more complete and rewarding action RPG.

Once again, thank you to everyone who has played the game and shared their honest feedback with us.
