NACON Announces Edge Of Memories, New JRPG from Midgar Studio
The sun is shining, the birds are singing, but do you know how I know it’s a good day? A brand new JRPG reveal that will send your jaw to the floor. NACON and Midgar Studio have announced Edge of Memories, a new project set in the universe of Edge of Eternity, their indie JRPG from 2021. With Edge of Memories, players will embark on a new adventure in the same universe of Heryon in Autumn 2025 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Check out the trailer below, and when you’ve blinked away the cel-shaded anime goodness we can continue.
Now get ready for a whirlwind of name drops. While Edge of Eternity is credibility enough, Midgar Studio (even that name!) has collaborated with renowned developers across the genre for this. Edge of Memories will combine ‘the richness of JRPGs with an artistic touch inspired by French animation’ and has worked with character designer Raita Kazama (Xenoblade Chronicles™ X), writer Sawako Natori (NieR™), singer Emi Evans (NieR™ / NieR: Automata™), and composers Yasunori Mitsuda (Chrono Trigger® / Xenogears™) and Mariam Abounnasr (Xenoblade Chronicles™ 3 / ONINAKI™).
Let’s break down that trailer for a second too. Slightly low frame-rate animation – beautiful. Monsters with triple sets of mouths inside each other – disgusting. Riding a wolf on the overworld – amazing. There’s more than a little Arcane to this, lashings of the Tales series with that more action flavour than its predecessor. The music is soaring and epic and the end of the year can’t come soon enough.
From the press release:
This new installment takes place on the continent of Avaris, where a plague called the Corrosion turns wildlife and humans into abominations. Eline, a young itinerant Soul Whisperer, roams the land, using her fantastic abilities to heal the tormented inhabitants. Developed with Unreal® Engine 5, Edge of Memories immerses players in the heart of an exciting epic that pays tribute to the JRPG genre. The game features a vibrant and colorful world, as well as a story that explores powerful themes such as the exodus of peoples, a world plagued by disease, the quest for origins, and the need to adapt to an ever-changing environment.
With dynamic gameplay and real-time combat, Edge of Memories offers a decidedly action-oriented experience: to achieve victory, players must master Eline’s abilities, chain spectacular combos with her two companions, and awaken the devastating power of the Berserk that lies dormant within her.
Edge of Memories will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and is projected for Autumn 2025.
