Overview

  • Release is set for October 9 on PS5, PS4, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam, following the reveal during Gamescom Opening Night Live’s pre-show.
  • The latest trailer introduces Brome, a levitating Mowlaï wizard who mixes staff combos with ranged and area‑of‑effect spells and hoverboard‑style gliding.
  • Hands‑on impressions highlight a counter system that lets players dash in or dodge out to trigger a brief punish window for counterattacks.
  • Run‑based structure features branching routes, quests, tough bosses, unlockable items, and permanent upgrades to drive replayability.
  • The project pairs publisher Dotemu with Guard Crush Games and animation studio Supamonks, with previews noting distinct character playstyles and a Hades‑like home base.
