Combining an Action RPG with tabletop role-playing, the Anima series is back – just this time it has a brand new protagonist and all new adventure.
Anima: Gate of Memories – The Nameless Chronicles will be released on Xbox One, PS4 and Steam for PC come June 19th 2018, and to celebrate the fact, we are given a little tease with a first trailer for the game.
The Nameless Chronicles introduces its main character – Nameless – to proceedings as we get the chance to head straight into a new Action RPG that is full of hack & slash opportunities, magical attacks and big bosses, all reminiscent of big names in the genre like Devil May Cry and Nier: Automata, and mixed with elements inherited from the traditional role. Action, exploration and evolution of the character through experience points are some of its mechanics.
The Nameless Chronicles takes us back to the events that gave birth to the first Anima, but from the perspective of the enemy side as we put ourselves in the shoes of “Nameless”, an immortal who has assumed different identities throughout history, and his quest to find death after thousands of years in the world. In Nameless Chronicles we will learn details of the life of “The Nameless One”, what moves him, and we will embody many of his past lives.
Carlos Blas, creator of the Anima universe, says of this new installment: “Nameless Chronicles started out as just a little story, just another chapter in a story that grew and grew into something huge. Something we’re proud of. The three members of our studio have given everything we got to make a game like this. Now, we are eager for people to enjoy the adventures of the Nameless One and see the world through their eyes.”
But if you thought you knew exactly what to expect, then you’d be wrong as this new Anima is a totally different adventure, with the vast majority of the scenarios and situations differing completely from those of the first Anima Project title, although there will be elements and characters that only those who have played the first instalment of the saga will recognise.
With a soundtrack created by Sonotrigger Studios and visuals that mix cel-shading with realistic 3D environments, The Nameless Chronicles has everything needed in order to become a bit of a success.
We’ll obviously remind you when the time comes, but should you fancy hopping into the next Anima title, than June 19th is the date to stick in your diaries.
