Unreal Engine 5 is looking stunning from what we can see so far. Because of that reason we have gone ahead and made this collection of the best 5 Unreal Engine games that are set to release in either 2023 or 2024.
This will be a set of game lists that is very alike the Dark Souls series. Dark, gloomy with a lot of background and character while being extremely hard and rewarding. Let’s get started.
5 Souls-Like Games Coming Out 2023/2024 – Unreal Engine 5
Project The Perceiver
Papergames’ 17ZHE Studio is responsible for the development of Project: The Perceiver, a Chinese accessible, expansive, and open–world action game that was produced for many platforms and examines competing ideologies set in a fantasy universe.
With very stunning sceneries of the big beautiful land of China, both combined with masterful sword clashing will make this Unreal Engine 5 stand out from all the others. It will have a difficult pattern to it as can be seen in the trailer with the very difficult fighting against enemies.
Bleak Faith
Bleak Faith is a survival horror action role–playing game that is played from the third-person perspective and takes place in an open environment. The game pits the player as one of the Forsaken, the final frontier of mankind, against the expanding evils and nightmares of the Omnistructure.
This might just be the game that resembles the most that it can of a Dark Souls type of game. You will be facing many monsters that are both more and bigger than you. You will need to use your surroundings and base your attacks on a pattern of dodge, evade, and timing. One small mistake can get you killed.
Nazareth: The Fallen World
A narrative-driven story, 3rd person, and dark fantasy adventure game with action RPG features, Nazralath: The Fallen Environment focuses on a fascinating narrative and exploration via a rich, powerful feeling of atmosphere and world. The game is played from the perspective of the fallen world.
This is a must–try if you are a fan of the Dark Souls series. It is just as dark and gloomy as Souls is, and the combat is something that looks stunning. It has much more depth to it than just rolling around trying to survive a one-hit kill. The story of demons and the underworld fits very nicely as you can progress through its lore.
Night Crows
The story of Night Crows is set in medieval Europe around the 13th century and features aspects such as different faiths, ruling aristocracies, the Papacy, and chivalry knights. A gang that goes by the name Night Crows is responsible for covertly monitoring and controlling this distorted version of the globe.
It will be up to you to grab your gear and many sets of skills to be running around a very gloomy world filled with scary beasts that can literally wipe you off the face of the earth with one slash. The game looks stunning and the story and lore are simply fascinating.
Project M
Project M will be a game that is like Dark Souls but with many bigger and better aspects to it mainly thanks to Unreal Engine 5. You will be facing a plethora or enemies while being able to do much more mechanics and slashes and actually see a whole lot of pieces flying off your enemies.
The big monsters and bosses are simply a joy. There are combined slashes on multiple parts of the body as well as cutscenes where you can climb on the bosses and physically take them down with your attacks.
Honorable Mentions
Although these here are our top five picks for the upcoming 2023 and later 2024 games that resemble and feel like a Souls game with Unreal Engine 5, there are many more that can directly fit this genre. Here are just a couple of them:
Black Myth: Wukong

Everyone on earth is trapped in a metropolis that was once breathtaking but has now degenerated into a living nightmare that is home to horrific evils.
That’s all of the upcoming games that will satisfy your Souls needs as a gamer. A big thank you to ENFANT TERRIBLE from YouTube for his details and information.
