The Relic: First Guardian Takes GTA VI Release Day
Hardly anyone will have missed this: GTA VI has been delayed to November 2026. However, many players had already booked vacation time for the originally planned release on May 26, 2026. Because of the delay, an unexpected gap has appeared: free time, but no GTA. This is exactly where other games step in, aiming to take advantage of this period. One of them is The Relic: First Guardian, which now tries to make good use of the waiting time.
The Relic: First Guardian “We take over from here”
The Relic: First Guardian has claimed the original GTA VI release date in May 2026. The developers are now using the time window that many were previously afraid of. It is no longer a suicide mission, but possibly the smartest move in the industry. Many gamers had already taken vacation in advance and now suddenly have a lot of free time with nothing to play. Games like The Relic: First Guardian are stepping in to fill that gap by releasing right in this window.
What is The Relic: First Guardian?
The game is a dark fantasy action RPG with Souls like elements. You set out on a heroic journey to save the world. The great relic was destroyed, causing a void to appear and turning parts of the world into a land of death. Your goal is to find the fragments of the shattered relic and close the void once again.
The game features a semi open world that you can freely explore while following the gripping story. Combat is fast paced and you face a wide range of apocalyptic fantasy enemies. You can choose between five different weapon types, each with its own skills to match your playstyle. There is no classic level system in The Relic: First Guardian. Instead, you collect runes and items, and use crafting to improve your character. By completing dungeons and defeating bosses, your character steadily grows stronger.
Conclusion: The perfect in between game?
The Relic: First Guardian does not come close to GTA VI, but it does not need to. It does not have to beat GTA, it just needs to be the best game released in the empty slot Rockstar left behind. So if you suddenly find yourself with too much time on May 26 and no idea what to play, this game is definitely worth considering.
