WARLOCK Action RPG Reveals Kaatri’s Pact to Tame Forbidden Magic

A third-person action RPG set in a dark, fantasy world has been revealed as WARLOCK, placing players in the role of Kaatri, a battle-hardened warrior tasked with confronting “forbidden” magic. The premise centers on making a pact to gain control of powerful spells while pushing through a host of challenges designed to test both combat skill and tactical thinking.

Core premise: a pact, forbidden magic, and a dangerous world

WARLOCK’s story framework invites players to embrace a supernatural bargain in order to master prohibited spellcasting. Set in a grim Dungeons & Dragons-inspired fantasy setting, the game positions Kaatri as the protagonist—described as a seasoned fighter—who uses magic as the key to uncovering the secrets hidden throughout the world.

Combat: spells and melee together

Instead of treating magic as a separate system, WARLOCK blends casting with close-quarters fighting. The gameplay is built around the combination of spellcasting and melee combat, aiming for a tactical, visceral feel where players must balance both approaches to succeed.
