Fulqrum Publishing announces new RPG, “Bylina”

As a seasoned gamer with a penchant for immersive storylines and richly detailed worlds, the announcement of Bylina by Fulqrum Publishing and Far Far Games has sent a thrill down my spine. Growing up, I was captivated by tales from Slavic folklore, and the prospect of stepping into this fantastical universe is beyond exciting. The life experiences I’ve accumulated over the years have given me an appreciation for complex narratives, deep character development, and engaging gameplay mechanics – all of which seem to be at the heart of Bylina.


Far Far Games’ upcoming RPG, titled Bylina, has been revealed by Fulqrum Publishing. This game is deeply inspired by Slavic legends and folklore.

The publisher invites you on an extraordinary adventure to the distant Far Far Kingdom where you’ll face off against Koschei the Immortal, a challenge that could save your eternal spirit and make you a genuine hero. In the action RPG known as Bylina, steeped in Slavic folklore and legends, assume the character of Falconet, a young warrior without traditional powers, often overlooked or underestimated by those around him. Overcome trials, surpass impossible obstacles, and write your name into legends that will be passed down for generations.

Check out the trailer revealing the game:


 

In a nutshell, young Falconet yearns to emulate his legendary father, a bogatyr, but ends up in the enigmatic Far Far Kingdom during a seemingly trivial errand, only to meet his untimely end. To his astonishment, this young hero is resurrected by an elusive spirit who now shares his body. Falconet encounters three formidable challenges: regaining dominance over his soul, solving the ancient enigma connected to his newfound companion, and preventing catastrophe from befalling the world.

Here’s some of the key features from the press release:

  • Discover a vibrant and extraordinary world based on Slavic myths and legends. Journey through the Land of Cities, boasting diverse locales – from sunlit forests to gloomy dungeons and imposing castles, each with its own unique features and atmosphere. As soon as you open new areas, prepare to encounter strange local inhabitants, as well as countless challenges, treasures, and puzzles waiting to be solved.
  • Improve your skills by mastering unique techniques and spells, and engage in fierce battles with common bandits, terrifying legendary creatures, and brutal bosses in which every mistake could be your last.
  • Expand your arsenal, embracing mysterious magical powers as well as a variety of armaments, from swords and shields to spears and bows. Level up, increase your strength, create new items, find and experiment with rare types of armour, and fight back against an ancient evil.
  • The eternal struggle between good and evil is not as obvious and clear-cut as it seems at first glance in the world of Bylina; its inhabitants experience complex inner lives filled with their fears, anxieties, hatred, and scars left by past trials that have shaped them into who they are today. Falconet will have to face not only legions of powerful foes in combat; but also the emotions, feelings and struggles that make a true human soul.

In this preview, we were given a sneak peek at the game, revealing that it incorporates an equipment and loot system with armor sets. Here’s hoping it lives up to its promising appearance! The demonstration mainly focused on close-quarters combat against several enemies, suggesting that the battles could be quite intense.

Bylina is coming to PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S in 2025.
