Original article [Sat 11th Dec, 2021 07:05 GMT]: French indie developer Midgar Studio - in partnership with publisher Dear Villagers - has announced its JRPG-inspired game Edge of Eternity is coming to the Nintendo Switch as a cloud version release on 23rd February next year.

Here's a bit about this project that originally began life as a Kickstarter and also features the work of the legendary JRPG composer Yasunori Mitsuda (Xenoblade Chronicles & Chrono Trigger):

"In a world torn asunder, the people of Heryon pursue a desperate war against a mysterious invader. As this conflict opposing magic and technology grows to cataclysmic proportions, a new threat emerges from the battlefield. Wage epic turn-based battles as you follow Daryon and Selene in their quest to find a cure to the all-consuming Corrosion and save the world of Heryon."

  • A Deep & Strategic Combat System: Outwit your enemies in epic turn-based tactical combat: use the environment to lure them into devious traps, outsmart and outflank them to inflict massive damage. Craft your gear and inset it with powerful crystals to unlock unique combinations of skills and power-ups.
  • A Cast of Charismatic Characters: Meet a cast of larger-than-life companions, each with their own unique personalities and attributes. Discover their dreams, flaws, hopes and torments as you experience and share many special moments together.
  • A Gorgeous World to Discover: Journey through Heryon’s unique and ethereal environments, and unearth its most ancient secrets.
  • A Stunning Soundtrack from the Composer of Chrono Trigger & Xenoblade Chronicles: Heryon is brought to life by a sublime soundtrack from industry legend and composer of Chrono Trigger & Xenoblade Chronicles, Yasunori Mitsuda
