About
Many years after the events of Psyvariar 2, Psyvariar 3 begins. Following the defeat of ETA, a group of Psyvariars decided Earth was worth saving. They pledged to rebuild and recolonize the planet, with GUIS emerging to continue its initial purpose.
Decades pass. The Earth colony thrives. Then… a signal. Alien. Unknown.
As soon as Gluon particles appear, panic begins to spread. The skies grow dark, signaling a terrifying return—Earth is under attack again. It’s time for a new group of skilled pilots, the Psyvariars, to emerge and protect humanity.
