Counterplay Games is a young studio, growing from just 14 employees to over 75 in the past two years. Godfall will be the studio’s second game, the first being the popular collectible card game Duelyst. Duelyst fans were excited to see a new game from Counterplay Games, even though Godfall is a world apart from Duelyst in terms of gameplay. But more than that, Duelyst fans saw something familiar in Godfall. There are enough similarities that some believe Godfall may even be a sequel to Godfall.

The core connection between both Godfall and Duelyst is one structure, known in Duelyst as the Monolith. In Duelyst, the Monolith resides at the center of 6 moving continents and is only accessible when they properly align. It’s a giant white, obelisk-like structure and a place of significant power. And while the Monolith shown in Godfall’s announcement trailer isn’t exactly the same as the one shown in Duelyst’s art, they’re unignorably similar.
Duelyst players then took to the Duelyst subreddit to ask Counterplay itself if there was a connection, as the developer is an active participant in its community. Asked if Duelyst is set in the same universe, Counterplay representative ThanatosNoa responded, “You’re bound to see some familiar names, but I won’t say more than that.” When the Monolith’s similarities were brought up, ThanatosNoa responded with a winking emoji.
Little is known about Godfall’s lore at this point. All that’s been revealed so far is that an order exalted Knight’s Order is intent on stopping the apocalypse and that they wear armor sets known as Valorplates. It’s possible that Duelyst’s conflict between the 6 continents has grown into an apocalypse scenario. It’s possible that the individual Duelysts have evolved into a new Knights Order, powered by the powerful artifacts at the heart of The Trial of the Cores.
Godfall releases in late 2020 on PC and PS5.
