A medieval-themed open-world game called Bellwright, which has been available on Steam since 2024, joined the PlayStation 5 lineup on June 9, 2026. In terms of gameplay, Bellwright is often compared to games like Kingdom Come: Deliverance and Medieval Dynasty, both of which are popular on PlayStation 5. However, Bellwright also features survival mechanics that many players believe are reminiscent of hardcore titles like Valheim.
Bellwright has been in early access on Steam, where it has accumulated more than 20,000 user reviews, 80% of which are positive. Despite being relatively new to the PlayStation Store, it has already received over 500 reviews, resulting in an average user score of 3.74 at the time of writing. Bellwright is widely regarded as one of the best games for players looking to experience a realistic medieval life, and developer Donkey Crew describes it as a game where players build a world from the ground up.
