We’ll let you decide if a plot written by the writer behind Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy VII Remake is a selling point, but Kazushige Nojima is the biggest name behind Austria Ascending, a new JRPG for PlayStation 5 and PS4 , which will be released later this year. “In a world where chaos appears, players take control of the demigods: a diverse crew of eight heroes accused of the fate of the world,” the press release reveals.
You will explore the world of Orcanon, “a richly imagined and fully animated 2D landscape with five cities and a dynamic weather system.” The art has been imagined by Akihiko Yoshida and Hideo Minaba of CyDesignation, while Hitoshi Sakimoto of Final Fantasy XII composes the score. “Work together to save the world, delivering turn-based strategic battles using the innovative focus point system,” the speech continues.
You can check out the previous ad trailer, which features the story and gameplay. The developer promises more than 30 hours of gameplay here, with plenty of side missions and mini-games to lengthen your adventure along the way.
