In the land that lies south of midnight, players take on the role of 19-year old protagonist Hazel, who finds herself in a mysterious, enchanted world. Endowed with the abilities of a Weaver, she must navigate this realm to solve various riddles. Her powers enable her not only to mend the wounded creatures but also to heal the environment around her. A talking fish serves as a wise mentor, guiding Hazel on her transformative adventure.
The narrative centers around Tokyo, devastated by the remnants of the Dark Dragon and perpetual rain. A fresh hero, Yakumo belonging to the Raven Clan, steps up to bring an end to the misery. Notably, Ryu Hayabusa reappears, taking on a crucial part in the storyline, often butting heads with Yakumo due to their rival clans. This dynamic is fittingly portrayed as their clans have historically been adversaries.
In the trailer, we witness Hazel, our main character, embark on a self-discovered voyage amidst a magical hurricane. The narrative unfolds as she navigates through a realm steeped in Southern folklore, seeking her mother. Along her journey, she encounters diverse characters and endeavors to guide them towards their optimal selves, having recently gained the power of a Weaver. However, ominous creatures from various myths such as the scaly Two-Toed Tom will pose challenges to her progress. This promises to be an extraordinary adventure, unique among this year’s titles.
Anne Shirley hails from the beloved series “Anne of Green Gables,” penned by Lucy Maud Montgomery. These novels are situated in Canada during the late 19th century and narrate the story of an 11-year-old orphan girl, who was accidentally adopted by two affluent men seeking a boy to work on their farm, thinking she was a boy.
It’s worth noting that the eagerly anticipated sequel is being created by not one but two renowned teams – Team Ninja from Koei Tecmo, and PlatinumGames, known for their outstanding work on Bayonetta and NieR: Automata. This collaboration promises an action-packed experience indeed.
As a devoted fan, I must say that the arrival of the Corespawn Edgestalker has undeniably amplified the eerie ambiance within Deep Rock Galactic. Much like user KaprKarel observed, “It seems that the game’s creatures are gradually growing more and more unsettling,” and the Edgestalker with its numerous legs and potentially nightmare-inducing visage truly embodies this feeling. Players can’t help but notice the escalating creepiness in the evolving enemy roster, leading to a gaming experience that is as exhilarating as it is chilling.
