Players have learned about some interesting features in the upcoming title,Godfall. The game has already been promoted as usingPS5’s haptic feedback to simulate the feel ofGodfall’s weapons, but a promotional stunt is bringing an even more realistic weapon feel.
Gearbox hired a group of blacksmiths to create one of the weapons fromGodfallin real life. Man At Arms: Reforged is a YouTube show that focuses on making video game weapons. The show has been running for years and has forged many video game weapons into reality, with the latest creation of the channel being the Eclipse Sword fromGodfall.

The response on Twitter has largely been in awe of the sword, with a couple of exceptions. Typically the Man At Arms team creates replicas of more well-known video game armaments, like theHylian Shield. The Eclipse Sword looks cool, and seeing it cut through skulls and milk cartons makes for a fun video. Given the Eclipse Sword is part ofGodfall’s logo, it makes sense for Gearbox to have commissioned this piece, but it will be interesting to see whether Man At Arms revisits the title for any other weapons going forward.
Various factors determine what weapons or armor are forged by the Man At Arms crew, but it’s often done through fan requests. That’s whyGenji’s Katana fromOverwatchwas forged, along with his shuriken. The crew covers more than just video games as well, with builds from anime and films in their catalog.
Considering the size and materials used in the construction of the Eclipse Sword, it appears to be a little bit unwieldy in real life. However, the demonstration at the end of the video shows it definitely works, and getting to see the heft and power behind a sword like this in real life makes thefast-paced action inGodfall’s recent trailereven more impressive.
Godfallreleases on November 12 for PC and PS5.
