Skydance’s BEHEMOTH is an original story set in the Forsaken Lands, a fallen kingdom haunted by tragedy. Play as an outland warrior, Wren the Hunter (the player), and embark on a perilous quest to save yourself and your village. Your only hope is to slay the unslayable, the monstrous Behemoths.
Developed by Skydance Interactive · Published by Paramount Games
You play as Wren, an outland hunter on a quest through the Forsaken Lands to end a curse threatening you and your village. The single-player dark fantasy adventure moves through varied environments, from snowy tundra to marshland, as you face marauders and towering Behemoths.
Fight with swords, axes, bows, and thrown weapons, using blocks, parries, and powerful attacks against human enemies. A grappling hook supports climbing and swinging, while rope interactions, environmental obstacles, and puzzles shape your route through the world.
The campaign combines combat and exploration, with side paths offering extra finds and resources for upgrades. The Arena mode pits you against enemy hordes across maps, with coins to exchange for weapons and an Endless version to unlock; Behemoth Trials let you choose which campaign creatures to face and in what order.
Players who enjoy the game often single out the close-up scale of the Behemoth encounters, the grappling hook, and the immersive VR environments. Some also find the melee combat satisfying once they learn its timing. Views are mixed: recurring complaints include awkward weapon handling, trial-and-error boss sequences, repetitive human fights, and problems launching or running the game on some setups.
Rites of Wrath DLC
Our new DLC (which was crafted thanks to a lot of fan feedback) lets players experience the Forsaken Lands like never before. We added two new modes, free to all players. Now you can play Skydance’s Behemoth’s incredible moments in bite-sized fashion.
The Arena leaves Beta
Arena Mode is now a fully fledged feature called “The Arena”. Fight off hordes of enemies through three new maps during both day and night. Collect coins from your fallen enemies, then exchange them for powerful golden weapons to reach new heights of mastery. Manage your weapons carefully though, because in The Arena weapons break, sometimes at the most inopportune moments! Conquer The Arena once, and unlock an Endless version of it, where you can find out what kind of a warrior you really are!
The Behemoth Trials are coming for you
Enter The Behemoth Trials and find yourself on hallowed ground. In this sacred space you can perform a ritual that will allow you to face any of the Behemoths of the campaign immediately, with bespoke loadouts that will maximize your chances of success. Choose to fight Shacklehide and call it a day, or challenge Nightscraper, Dreddstagg then Shacklehide one after the other! The order and number of Behemoths you want to tackle are your choice.

Behemoths Loom Large and Dangerous: To defeat these gargantuan threats you’ll not only need all your strength, you’ll also need every skill in your arsenal to battle them on the ground, in the air, and in the clouds.
