Thought it would be cool to share some of the bosses, enemies, and scenes that didn’t quite make it into the final version of Valfaris for one reason or another. Enjoy!
VALFARIS SCHEMATICS
I’m not 100% sure if this scene of Therion studying a plan of Valfaris on board the Wolfship was created for one of the game’s trailers or as part of an ending cinematic. Either way, it didn’t make the cut.
DRONE MASTER
This pincer-fisted menace was one of the first of Valfaris' enemies ever shown – we used this teaser GIF in 2017 before Valfaris had been announced. Given the title of ‘Drone Master’ by the team, this was its one and only public appearance as it was snipped before it shipped!
UNUSED INTRO SCENE
This cinematic scene was going to be Therion’s dramatic entrance as part of the E3 2017 announcement trailer. Unfortunately, we ran out of time and had to go with a scaled back version of the promo vid. It wasn’t, erm, very good.
FIRE PRIEST
With its trident and mysterious glowing hump, this unused Fire Keeper enemy – seen here guarding a jelly spawning tank – looks a lot like a slimline version of the corpulent Tomb Keepers.
POWER CHAMBERS BOSS
Known as the ‘Biomech Jelly Boss’, this drooling flesh machine with its blood-tipped tendrils was intended to be embedded somewhere deep in the Power Chambers.

Oh, and some news for any console players who happen to be hanging about in these here parts – Full Metal Mode is now available for the PS4, Switch, and Xbox One versions of Valfaris!
