Dinoblade is a third-person Soulslike action RPG developed by Team Spino LLC and Boltray Games, released on Steam on July 24, 2026. The game was created by Jean Nguyen, a senior animator at Sucker Punch Productions who worked on Ghost of Yōtei. Players control a young Spinosaurus that carries a massive greatsword in its mouth, fighting rival weapon-wielding dinosaurs and apex predators called Alphas across biomes such as canyons, jungles, and snowy plains. Combat involves combos, dodging, rolling, and parrying, with the ability to transform into an inner beast and use special abilities.
Pre-release interest was strong: the game surpassed 460,000 Steam wishlists by June 23, then exceeded 500,000 wishlists by July 6. A demo on Steam earned an Overwhelmingly Positive rating with 97% positive reviews from about 4,900 users. After launch, the full game holds a Very Positive rating with 89% positive reviews from 285 reviews as of the time of reporting. A 10% launch discount brought the price to 2,340 yen through July 31.
One source noted a discrepancy in the release date: the launch trailer listed July 23, while the Steam store page showed July 24 in Japanese time. The game ultimately launched on July 24. The story follows the protagonist's quest to prevent an impending extinction and uncover the truth behind a catastrophic disaster that reshaped the prehistoric world.
