The developer of Bleak Faith: Forsaken will now replace assets purchased from the Epic Marketplace, after being accused…

, Archangel Studios released its Soulslike game, but players noted that some animations were almost identical to some found in Elden Ring.

"As a three-person studio, [Epic Marketplace] was a vital resource to utilise throughout the four year development. The assets in question were purchased from the Epic Marketplace in good faith and with the understanding that Epic went through the proper vetting and review process before listing them for sale," reads the statement.

As a result, Archangel Studios is removing these assets from the game out of respect for the original artists and the players.
