Dustborn is a story-driven adventure which lets you use words as weapons

Last night (August 22), during Gamescom 2023’s Opening Night Live, one particularly interesting game shown was Dustborn - a stylish story-driven action-adventure game developed by Red Thread Games and published by Quantic Dream, which allows players to use their words as weapons.

Set in a Neo-Western alternate-history America, Dustborn puts players into the shoes of Pax, an exile who’s been hired to transport a package across the “Justice-controlled American Republic”. Along with a group of misfit friends, you must travel undercover as a folk-punk-rock band, evade the people who are desperate to get their hands on the package, overcome challenges, and expand your crew.
