The new video gives us fans a much better glimpse of what we can expect once the game launches. The footage focuses mostly on the latest iteration of the series’ famous summons known as Eikons. They can be used in battles and they can be fought as enemies as well. Eikons live within people known as Dominants. They are individuals with the ability to call on themselves.
When it comes to the story, here’s what the blurb says: “The story follows Clive Rosfield, a young man dedicated to mastering the blade, who is dubbed the First Shield of Rosaria and tasked to guard his younger brother Joshua—the Dominant of the Phoenix. Unexpected events set Clive on a dark and dangerous road to revenge.”
Along with the new footage, producer Naoki Yoshida also gave us an update on the game’s development progress: “I’m happy to announce that the game is fully playable from start to finish; though, from optimization to brush-up, there is still a mountain of challenges to tackle as we head into our final push. Until then, please stay tuned.”
Square Enix has confirmed that the RPG will launch exclusively for the PS5 this Summer. You can check out the trailer below:
