The action-adventure title will have improved graphics, but will also utilize a couple physical features of the PS5.
Praey for the Godswill also benefit from the newDualSense controller technology. After seeing Sony demonstrations of the Dualsense controller, No Matter Studios optimized the action-adventure title to enable players to feel every interaction within the game. Parnell says, “Feeling your feet crunch through the deep snow, the tug of your sail cloth popping open as you leap into the air, or feeling the wind below - all of these impacts are felt in your hands as you control your character.”
The DualSense controller technology will affect many aspects of the gameplay and will have an interesting feature within the combat. While the main character can wield weapons like axes, clubs, and swords, the ranged bow weapon will utilize the adaptive triggers. The DualSense controller adaptive triggers are able to produce resistance to make activities and weapon use more realistic. Other PlayStation titles are also utilizing the DualSense controllers in similar ways.The Pathlessis an upcoming PS5 title with exclusively bow-and-arrow gameplay with the adaptive triggers and haptic feedback playing a large part.

The three developers are still hard at work in the latest stages of development to release the game in the first three months of 2021.
