PlayStation 5 launch exclusive Godfall will require a constant internet connection to play its single player component.
The cringily named “looter slasher” – a looter shooter without the shooter – will be releasing on PlayStation 5 and PC on October 12th, the same day that the PlayStation 5 releases in some countries. The PC version will only be on the Epic Games Store.
In response to to a fan’s question on Twitter, one that noticed the PlayStation Store page stayed that Online Play is required for the game, the official Godfall Twitter account said the following:
Godfall is not a service game, but does require an internet connection to play.

This is not correct. Performance QA and optimization is often the last step of development ahead of launch and that tuning is ongoing for us. We’ll share real numbers when that work concludes.
