PS5 RPG Daba: Land of Water Scar set for Spring 2027

Daba: Land of Water Scar is listed on the PlayStation Store for PlayStation 5 with a spring 2027 release window. The entry provides the first official timing for the game and confirms Sony Interactive Entertainment as publisher.

The title is in development at Shanghai studio Dark Star and is supported by Sony’s China Hero Project. Earlier announcements referenced both PS5 and PC versions, but the current PlayStation Store listing names PS5 and gives no exact day or month beyond spring 2027.

The PS Store description outlines the game’s setting and main character. It introduces Adan, a Clayman who awakens wearing an ancient mask and wields twin blades. The description states: “The Sky-Pillars have collapsed, the waters run dry, Daba slowly dies of thirst. You are Adan. A Clayman who should not have awakened.” It adds references to scattered “Soul Fragments of fallen gods,” a spreading “Purple Plague,” and choices that could make the player a “God, savior, or destroyer. Choose, and pay the price.”

An official trailer released alongside the listing focuses on combat encounters and enemy design. The footage shows melee fights, large opponents and environmental scenes, but it does not provide detailed information on progression systems, open-world elements or precise gameplay mechanics.

Sony Interactive Entertainment is listed as publisher on the PlayStation Store page. The project remains part of the China Hero Project, an initiative that supports and helps bring Chinese-developed games to PlayStation platforms.

Daba’s spring 2027 window places it among other PlayStation releases scheduled across late 2026 and early 2027, including a first-person historical folk horror title due in October and a sequel to a 2015 horror adventure set for January 2027. As of now, the PlayStation Store listing and the initial trailer are the primary public sources for the game’s release window, setting and early combat presentation. Further promotional materials and a formal release date may appear as the spring window approaches.
