Midgar Studio and Nacon don’t even deny that they tried to capture the Far Eastern style with audiovisuals, and it seems that they succeeded.

Corrosion, a plague of unprecedented proportions, has already ravaged the Astryan continent. On the other side of the world, the continent of Avaris and its nomadic peoples – so far spared the horrors of this abomination – are now on the brink of extinction. Eline, an itinerant Soul Whisperer, fights relentlessly against the force that is turning the once-thriving flora, fauna, and people of this lush land into grotesque abominations. After a mysterious encounter, a dark power awakens within her that may hold the key to ending this apocalypse: the ability to control the corrosion within her own body. But saving an already doomed world is no easy task. With the help of Ysoris, her unlikely mentor, and Kanta, shaman prince of a lost tribe, Eline must overcome the formidable enemies that stand in her way.

Join your allies in fierce battles against relentless enemies and unleash your devastating powers to destroy them! String together spectacular combos by alternating between quick strikes and devastating techniques to dominate your opponents. Your allies are the key to victory. Customize your companions and use their abilities wisely to inflict more damage at crucial moments. Let your rage consume you and transform into a berserker to unleash earth-shattering blows that turn into a series of merciless executions.

Avaris, a land of many faces, is as scarred as the rest of Heryon. From the idyllic sandy shores of the port city of Sarlah-Durah to the snow-capped peaks of the Kezal Mountains, every landscape bears the marks of the Corruption’s abominations. Explore rich, vibrant environments and watch as the Scourge ravages these enchanting landscapes. As you progress through the story, the game transforms places you have traveled before, creating strange new paths for you to take. Traverse the vast lands of Avaris atop this trusty feline companion, using its agility to reach inaccessible areas. Discover or rediscover the breathtaking world of Heryon through Avaris, a colorful and vibrant continent brought to life with Unreal Engine 5.

Experience an original narrative where every quest matters, giving new depth to the story, the characters or their relationships. Travel across a continent inhabited by nomadic civilizations forced to migrate to escape the Corrosion, and connect with those who have chosen to await death while celebrating life. Whether exploring the vast expanses of the continent of Avaris or battling the relentless Corroded enemies, enjoy a dynamic and adaptive soundtrack composed by Cedric Menendez. Carried by the enchanting voice of Emi Evans, known for her work on NieR: Automata, your journey culminates in a final theme composed by Yasunori Mitsuda, known for his work on games such as Chrono Trigger, Xenoblade Chronicles, and Sea of Stars.

Known for Edge of Eternity, Midgar Studio’s new game Edge of Memories will be released for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and PC in the last quarter (October to December). The Japanese animation style is easy to recognize.
