Developers New Tales and Emeteria have revealed Fading Echo, a magical puzzle-platformer with an all-star cast that features Matt Mercer, Laura Bailey, Samantha Béart, and Jasmine Bhullar. Revealed during today’s Future Games Show: Summer Showcase 2025 with a gameplay trailer that shows off its unique platforming and hack-and-slash action, Fading Echo is “coming soon” to consoles and PC.
“Unlease water, harness elements, and trigger chain reactions in a fast-paced desert punk action-adventure,” the game’s description reads. “Shift and slide through the surreal realities of a reactive world that rewards creativity. Play as One, a young Legend on a quest to discover her past and secure her future.”
Check it out for yourself in the Fading Echo reveal trailer below:
Players will embody One, who can transform into an orb of water to traverse the floating islands of Corel. When not solving platforming puzzles, players will unleash chain reactions of combos to defeat the various enemies of these islands. “Dissolve into a droplet to slip through cracks and spread water across your surroundings, surge through tubes, crash down as a water bomb, or ascend in a vapor burst,” the Fading Echo Steam page reads. “Wield the raw power of Æther – cast devastating close-combat attacks, and evolve your abilities to fit your playstyle.
“Master the shift between offense, tactics, and exploration as you unlock power. Traverse Corel and its Shadows, distorted realities of the same world, each with its own laws, dangers, and possibilities. Explore landscapes both familiar and alien to unlock precious Ætheric Sources, discover new ways to interact with the world, and adapt your approach to each dimension.”
Fading Echo is due out sometime soon on consoles and PC. In the meantime, you can wishlist it on Steam here.
