Hannah’s Day developer Watt Games has announced Tsarevna, a dark fantasy third-person action game coming to PC via Steam in 2026.
Here is an overview of the game, via Watt Games:
About
Tsarevna is a third-person action slasher that combines precise sword combat with the elegance of classical ballet, set in a dark fantasy world shaped by Slavic folklore.
Players take on the role of the Tsarevna, a young warrior and heir to a fallen dynasty. Armed with a magical blade forged from emotion itself, she battles through hordes of creatures drawn from myth—wraiths, mermaids, forest spirits—as she seeks vengeance and truth in a world scarred by a long-forgotten cataclysm.
Combat is a Dance
Tsarevna’s core combat system is built around choreographed motion captured from world-renowned ballerina Alyona Kovalyova, principal dancer of the Bolshoi Ballet. Every spin, leap, and strike flows with balletic precision—turning every fight into a deadly performance.
A Story Forged from Ashes
Set in the aftermath of a dark and fractured era, Tsarevna leads players on a journey through enchanted and forsaken realms—from the depths of the Underworld to the skybound lands of Iriy. Along the way, players will confront ancient deities, unlock the Tsarevna’s forgotten past, and uncover the cost of wielding power rooted in grief and beauty.
