2027’s Most Stylish Action Game Looks Spectacular in First Official Gameplay

A new gameplay trailer for *Tsarevna* showcases a ballet-inspired action game in which protagonist Swan fights enemies drawn from Slavic folklore and fairy tales. Its distinctive combat style has raised interest ahead of its planned early 2027 launch.

The game uses motion capture from ballerina Alyona Kovalyova, and developer Watt Studio describes the combat as a simpler take on games such as *Bayonetta* or *Devil May Cry*. Players can build combos and earn higher combat ranks through varied, creative fighting; the studio says its CEO’s five-year-old daughter and her love of ballet helped inspire the project. Steam wishlisting is available, while the studio’s website also mentions PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch 2 and Steam Deck.
