Paper Cult announced on June 22 that early access for Tears of Metal, a 3D roguelike action game, will begin on PC via Steam and Microsoft Store on July 23 Japan time. The game draws influence from the Musou series but is not a button-masher, instead requiring players to assign and strengthen allied soldiers while building power-ups through roguelike three-choice upgrades. Up to four players can cooperate, with each player's forces working together on battlefields where heroes swing weapons to clear enemy hordes. At early access launch, players get three heroes, village upgrades, equipment, companions, and a complete three-act gameplay loop. Additional content will arrive through early access, and the current Steam demo will be removed on July 6 as it no longer represents the game. The Xbox Series X|S version is planned for release within 2026, and the PC version supports Game Pass.
