French indie studio Sol Brothers has launched its first title, Maseylia: Echoes of the Past, on Steam starting June 19, 2026. The game is a hand-crafted 3D Metroidvania set in the ruins of a long-abandoned world, drawing inspiration from the visual style of artist Moebius, the exploration design of Metroid Prime, and the fluid movement mechanics of Pseudoregalia. For fans of the genre, it’s a pretty compelling combination of reference points.
Players explore six distinct biomes across the ruins of Maseylia, a civilization wiped out by a catastrophic invasion. The main loop involves acquiring new traversal abilities that open up previously inaccessible areas, discovering secrets, and facing powerful guardians along the way. Sol Brothers promises 10 to 15 hours of gameplay for those aiming for the main ending, with much more to offer for completionists who want to find all the hidden upgrades and optional areas the game has to offer.
Maseylia launched on Steam at €17.00, although a 20% launch discount brings this down to €13.60 for the first two weeks following release. The game is available in 12 languages, which is an impressive scope for a studio of this size. Sol Brothers was founded by Victor Abresol and built the game over several years with the help of musicians, friends and family, making Maseylia a passion project in the truest sense of the word.
The Steam version is just the beginning, it seems. Console versions for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch are currently in development in partnership with publisher Nejcraft. Physical editions for PS5 and Nintendo Switch are already available for pre-order worldwide via the Nejcraft store, although specific release dates and details on the Collector’s Edition content are yet to be confirmed. Sol Brothers said more information would be shared in the coming months.
Maseylia: Echoes of the Past is available now on Steam. You can check out the official launch trailer on YouTube and find the game’s Steam page at store.steampowered.com. Those interested in physical editions can go to store.nejcraft.com to pre-order.
