NICOSIA, Cyprus – April 20, 2026 – Studio Far Far Games and publisher Digital Vortex Entertainment are thrilled to announce that Bylina, their isometric action-adventure rooted in Slavic folklore, is now available on Steam. PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S versions will launch later in 2026.
In Bylina, take on the role of Kestrel, a young bogatyr, a Slavic knight of legend, born without hero’s powers in a world where gods, monsters, and humans exist side by side. Unmarked by destiny, unblessed by the gods, and underestimated by everyone, Kestrel’s just a stubborn kid whose dreams outweigh his abilities
When what seems like a simple task goes horribly wrong, Kestrel finds himself in the mysterious Thrice-Nine Kingdom, where he meets his end. But death is only the beginning. Revived by an enigmatic spirit, Kestrel must now share his body with this otherworldly companion and reclaim control over his soul, uncover an ancient mystery, and save the world from imminent doom.
Master precise, skills-based real-time combat to outsmart mythical foes while exploring a semi-open world full of hidden dungeons and challenging side quests. Build Kestrel up with a non-linear progression system, learning new abilities, powerful spells, and unique combat skills.
Uncover bizarre but formidable weapons and armor by exploring the darkest reaches of the Thrice-Nine realm, then finally take on the powerful evil sorcerer, Koschei the Deathless, and take your place among the legendary bogatyri of old!
Check out the Launch Trailer and dive deep into the world of epic mythology, very bad decisions and pure madness!
