About the game
You fight through a land changed by the Blight after Sorcisto destroys your village. Defeating bosses lets you recover lost memories and gain abilities that open routes through connected regions. Attacks need careful timing. You dodge, parry and look for openings to finish enemies. Playing well raises the danger as the Blight changes the opposition around you.
The announced adventure supports two players online or on one device, with a friend able to join or leave during play. You work through the same fights and explore the same paths together. This is a campaign to complete rather than a series of separate runs. Permanent upgrades and checkpoints give you reasons to return to earlier areas. These details describe the announced game, which is planned for 2027.
