‘Under the steady hand of the Shaytham dynasty, the Kingdom of Alletain on DioField Island has known peace for 200 years, but suddenly find themselves cast into an age of uncertainty due to the rise of warlike powers and modern magic,’ the game’s official description reads.
‘The Kingdom of Alletain is rich in the mineral Jade, prized for its use as a base ingredient in magic and sorcery, and the attention of both the Empire and the Alliance inevitably turns towards the island. Players will take control of a band of elite mercenaries calling themselves “Blue Fox” – but will the name “Blue Fox” come to signify hope, or darkest tragedy?’

The new trailer also introduces players to the game’s cast of characters, and a mysterious deer that will likely have an important role to play in the wider mythos of the game.
The DioField Chronicle launches for PC and consoles on 22 September 2022, with preorders now open.
