The Last Faith Beta: How To Join, PC Specs & Gameplay Details

While many of the titles shown at Gamescom 2023, especially in the "Future Games" section, are quite far off, that's not the case for The Last Faith from publisher Playstack and indie developer Kumi Souls Games. The Last Faith caught our eye as a gothic fusion of Metroidvania and Soulslike genres, and if you feel the same way, then you are in luck, as you can join the beta right now.

In this guide, we explain how you can join The Last Faith beta to test out the game, alongside gameplay details, a trailer, and the PC system requirements to run this indie title, so let's jump in.

How To Join The Last Faith Beta

While The Last Faith will be released on Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch consoles as well, the Beta is only available on PC via Steam.

To join the beta of The Last Faith and start enjoying the merciless and precise combat with a huge range of weapons, firearms, and custom executions, you simply need to head on over to the game's Steam page and click on "Request Access."

Once you have been granted access to The Last Faith beta, you can start slaying monstrosities in the gothic world of Eryk.

The Last Faith Gameplay Details & Trailer

Even though the beta is completely free to play, some gamers might want to learn more about The Last Faith's gameplay and features before jumping in. That's if the fusion of Metroidvania and Soulslike genres hasn't intrigued you enough already.

First up, check out The Last Faith beta gameplay trailer as revealed at Gamescom 2023 below.

You'll find an official list of gameplay features and details as per the game's Steam page below.

• Often brutal, always empowering, The Last Faith is an unholy alliance of Metroidvania and Soulslike.
• The Last Faith thrives on merciless and precise combat, with a huge range of custom executions to perform.
• Discover a formidable arsenal of melee weapons, arcane spells, and long-range firearms, allowing you to carve a path your own way.
• Nonlinear exploration is at the core of The Last Faith. Gorgeous pixel art depicts an imposing gothic landscape. Journey along snow-dusted mountains and castles bathed in moonlight. Discover and upgrade a formidable range of tools for destruction.
• Step into The Last Faith’s ravaged world as Eryk, who awakens with no recollection of his immediate past. Soon he will discover he is in a race against time as his mind and conscience begins to deteriorate. His desire for salvation from this affliction sets him on a cursed mission that crosses paths with ancient religions and divinities.

The developers also explained what you can expect in terms of content for the beta, noting:

The Last Faith Beta will take you into Mythringal; a towering city ravaged by cursed souls. This place hides secrets and haunting memories. We’ll arm you with a sword and firearm, but the rest is down to you.

Our internal testing has shown a surprisingly wide range of completion times for the Beta, from 20 minutes all the way up to 90 minutes. There should be enough blood vials to carry you through, but don’t be discouraged if you don’t quite make it - you wouldn’t be the first to be claimed by the city.
