Up for an all-new strategy RPG from the Square Enix stable? How about if that RPG comes with music from Game of Thrones composers and is due to hit Xbox, PlayStation and PC later in 2022? You’ll be best of keeping an eye out for The DioField Chronicle.
Square Enix have today announced The DioField Chronicle, an all-new strategy-RPG that promises to immerse players in an epic tale of war and honour. It is coming to Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch and PC (Steam) later in 2022.
This fresh new franchise is being developed by Square Enix in conjunction with Lancarse Ltd, a team of veteran strategy developers, featuring unique character designs by Taiki (Lord of Vermilion III, IV), concept art by Isamu Kamikokuryo (FINAL FANTASY XII, FINAL FANTASY XIII) and has beautifully orchestrated music by world-renowned composers Ramin Djawadi and Brandon Campbell; yep, they best known for their work on Game of Thrones.
The Announcement Trailer which you can view below these words provides a first look at the story and new, deeply strategic real-time battle system called ‘Real-Time Tactical Battle’ (RTTB). It’s told through stunning ‘diorama’-style combat scenes, as players will assess front line conditions in real-time, issue decisive orders and use a variety of skills, classes, and equipment to gain the upper hand over their foes.
The DioField Chronicle is set in a beautiful and unique world blending fantasy, medieval and modern-day influences. 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 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?
Give that trailer a watch and let us know your thoughts in regards The DioField Chronicle for Xbox, PlayStation, Switch and PC.
