What is Dinoblade?
Dinoblade is a 2026 soulslike action RPG on Steam (PC), built by solo developer Jean Nguyen, a senior gameplay animator at Sucker Punch. You play a young Spinosaurus who clenches a colossal greatsword in its jaws and battles rival dinosaurs across canyons, jungles, swamps and frozen peaks. Combat is built on Sekiro-style posture and parries: fill an enemy's resolve bar with well-timed deflects, then land a devastating Instinct Counter. Defeat bosses to summon them, spend Boss SP on Soul Arts, hunt legendary weapons, and survive the cataclysm that armed every dinosaur with a blade.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the questions new Spinosaurus players ask most.
What can I play Dinoblade on?
Dinoblade is available on Windows PC through Steam. No PS5, Xbox, Switch or mobile edition has been announced.
Will Dinoblade be on PS5?
Not announced. Jean Nguyen said console versions are being considered, but any port depends on the Steam release's performance and audience demand. No console platform or date is confirmed.
How much does Dinoblade cost?
The US list price is $19.99 and regional prices vary. The July 30 launch discount has ended; a free Steam demo remains available.
Is Dinoblade a hard Soulslike?
It is best described as a "Soulslite." Combat uses Sekiro-style posture and parries, but it is more forgiving than a full Soulslike — you do not drop your currency on death, and leveling is partly automatic.
