The game from Midgar Studio and Nacon doesn’t deny Japanese inspiration, but it’s backed by French developers, which makes it interesting.

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.

With Edge of Eternity, the previous installment in the franchise, having attracted over 1 million players, there’s a lot of focus on the sequel, which features the work of several well-known artists in the genre (Yasunori Mitsuda, Emi Evans, Sawako Natori and Raita Kazama). At the recent Nacon Connect, we got our first look at the action-RPG’s gameplay. What we have seen so far is not bad at all…

Edge of Memories will be released sometime this fall (September-November) for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and PC.
