Hitting the early Summer hype train hard, Gearbox and Counterplay Games have begun rolling out a new series ofGodfalllore reveals through theLooter Slasher’sTwitter page. The latest reveal gives a look at the Valorplates and the deeper lore into how they allow the player characters to wield the magic and gear that has them progressing through the game.
These recent lore reveals began in May with a number of posts to theGodfallTwitter account in the form of cryptic excerpts from a larger Lore book that makes up a sort of in-universe religious text for the game. The most recent reveal, however, is in a video that gives a verbal account for what the Valorplates are and takes a specific look at Silvermane and how it will impact theMonster HunterandDark Soulsinspired gameplay.

According to the new video, the Valorplates “reflect” the gods of theGodfalluniverse, acting as a conduit to their powers that can be honed through “storm and furious battle” to unlock the strength of these beings through the upcomingNext-Gen game’s gameplay. The video caps off the dialogue with the phrase, “Ascend, lionhearted, with Silvermane” which is likely to be a slogan for this particular Valorplate moving forward. It seems as though Silvermane will be leaning heavily on the lion motif, both with the silver mane that wraps around the armors helmet and lends to its namesake, as well as the opening shot in the clip featuring a lions footprint.
This type of world building and deep lore will certainly help bring in some players who may look atGodfallas Sony’s first Souls-like title that can bring fans of the brutally hard games to the PS5. Looking at both the game’s gameplay and this new lore,Godfallis looking to be one of thebest games on PS5when the system releases later this year.
Godfallis set to release in Holiday, 2020 for PC and PS5.
