Happinet Corporation and NIS America have announced that a PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and Switch 2 demo for Brigandine: Abyss will be released on July 30, following the demo that released on Steam on May 24.
We are excited to share that the BRIGANDINE ABYSS demo is coming to Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S on July 30, ahead of the strategy RPG launching on consoles and PC this August. The BRIGANDINE ABYSS demo is currently available on Steam, and is now playable in 60 FPS. Play the first two seasons of the Gran Dragnica and Scarlet Will story campaigns on July 30! Follow Largo as he tries to find out what is turning the dragons into pawns of evil, or stand with Garnet as her company refuses to back down against the Abyssloa Empire. Recruit monsters send troops on quests, and plan your attack during the Organization Phase before experiencing BRIGANDINE ABYSS’ hexagonal grid-based strategy battles during the Invasion Phase. (Save data cannot be transferred from the demo to the full version.)
BRIGANDINE ABYSS is a brand-new entry in the storied franchise, featuring a completely unique world that even unfamiliar players can dive right into. Hundreds of years ago, the Abyssloa Empire was stopped by the power of the arcane Brigandine. Now, a new Abyssloa Empire rises from the ashes, ready to conquer the world. Confront the dark as you manage resources, rally your monsters, and stand against the empire in one of six different story campaigns.
For a new take on the Brigandine experience, turn to Mission Mode, which lets you take the role of one of 24 different factions, each with their own win conditions! Whether you want to challenge your tactical acumen or take it easy, you’ll find hundreds of hours of fun in BRIGANDINE ABYSS!
Whether you choose to play through the story or Mission Mode, gameplay will take place over three phases. Organize your troops and resources during the Organization Phase; issue orders to attack enemy strongholds in the Attack Phase; and then take to the field during the Invasion Phase! BRIGANDINE ABYSS maintains the series’ unique hexagonal-grid-based strategy gameplay and gives players plenty to think about. You’ll need to consider your skills, elemental attributes, and the development of your armies if you hope to find success on the battlefield!
Features:
- Confront the Dark: The Abyssloa Empire rises again, and it’s up to you to stop them. Choose from one of six different story campaigns to find out the truth—or keep it hidden.
- Victory Is in the Details: Spreading your influence won’t be easy. Manage your resources, maneuver your troops, and bind your fates with monsters to make sure you can stand up to anyone. Then, take to the field and reap the rewards!
- Fight for Your Faction: In Mission Mode, play as one of 24 different factions, each with their own unique win condition. Play one or play them all in this endlessly replayable strategy RPG!
