Studio Zero Director Katsura Hashino (Persona 3, 4 and 5, Shin Megami Tensei III – Nocturne) introduced the first hands-on gameplay the public has seen with a 30-minute livestream. During the stream, Hashino-san explored various segments of the game, treated viewers to an abundance of brand-new details and exciting teases, and discussed his development vision and creative inspirations.
One of the major reveals from the stream is the game’s launch date: 11th October, 2024.
Hashino-san’s narrated journey brought viewers to a selection of the game’s many locales, from grand cities to underground waterways, as well the deepest dive yet into the game’s systems and characters.
