Clash: Artifacts of Chaos is a fighting-adventure game developed by ACE Team, released in 2023 for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. Players control Pseudo, a reclusive martial arts master inhabiting the bizarre world of Zenozoik — a setting shaped by surreal and punk fantasy influences, populated by eccentric creatures, civilizations, and ancient secrets. The story begins when Pseudo encounters the Boy, a small creature whose mysterious powers have drawn the attention of Gemini, Mistress of the Artifacts, setting off a journey that reaches further than anticipated. Combat is built around unarmed fighting techniques, with players able to learn multiple martial arts styles and switch between them freely. A first-person view enables distinct special moves, while blocking, dodging, countering, and parrying round out the system. Before each fight, a dice-based Ritual system determines the conditions of the encounter. The game is set in the same universe as the Zeno Clash series but stands as a fully independent entry.
