Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising is hitting all platforms this May

505 Games and developer Rabbit & Bear Studios have announced that Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising, the first game in the saga will release on May 10 for all platforms, that is PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch and PC via Steam, Epic and GOG. The game is also going to be available via Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass on the same day.

After a massive earthquake revealed Runebarrows deep below a town on the remote frontier of the Allraan known as New Nevaeh, fortune-seeking adventurers and merchants from across the world arrive. Among those hoping to find treasure, three star-crossed heroes come together. CJ, the Venerable Scavenger, and Garoo, the Beastman Mercenary, hope to mine the Rune Lens, a source of magic hidden underground. Isha, the Young Deputy Mayor, wants to rebuild her town.

Delve into the ruins and master Rising’s satisfying combat. Dash in quick and strike with CJ’s climbing axes, sling sorcery from afar as Isha, and punish foes with Garoo’s gigantic sword. Topple imaginative bosses by swapping between each character and unleashing devastating Link Attacks combining each hero’s specialty, all while platforming through gorgeous 2.5D environments.

The work that you do, the items that you find and materials that you uncover in Rising, can be carried across to Hundred Heroes, the next game in the series, which is set to release in 2023.

We haven’t seen much on Rising, but the developers did release a nice gameplay video, which you can enjoy below.
