"Sifu in Reverse, But With Guns": 'Erosion' Announced — A Roguelike Where 10 Years Pass in the World After Each Death

Erosion was announced at Xbox Partner Preview — a dynamic shooter with roguelike elements and a destructible world, where ten years pass in the world after each hero's death. While they resurrect, everything around changes: villages turn into cults, old friends become powerful enemies, and the kidnapped daughter grows older.

The player's main goal is to save their daughter, captured by a despot and imprisoned in a living temple where time itself is distorted. Each run is a new era. Died in a dungeon? You'll wake up ten years later. The farm will turn into a fanatics' lair, the merchant into an empire owner.

Players can expect an open world, the ability to join cults, hunt bounties, participate in duels, races, and even fish in the sands. Developers promise hundreds of skills and modifiers, including absurd weapons like a chicken that shoots eggs. The world is done in voxel style and is completely destructible — any cover is temporary, and "collateral damage is inevitable."

Erosion will be released in the first half of 2026 on PC and Xbox.
