Introducing Edge of Memories, a new JRPG for PC, PS5, and Xbox from Nacon and developer Midgar Studio. It’s the sequel to 2021’s Edge of Eternity. It’s being worked on by decorated team, including Chrono Trigger composer Yasunori Mitsda, NieR lyricist Emi Evans, Xenoblade Chronicles character designer Raita Kazama, and Final Fantasy XV combat designer Mitsuru Yokoyama.
In Edge of Memories’ world of Heyron, the Corrosion has either killed or transformed inhabitants into “misshapen abominations.” You play as Eline, with Ysoris and Kanta in your party, as you travel through the Corrosion-ravaged continent of Avaris. Check out the announcement trailer above, and the first screenshots in the gallery below.
Combat in Edge of Memories is real-time, with combos amplifying your damage along with the ability to Hulk out and turn into a Berserk. It’s being built in Unreal Engine 5, and is due out in Fall 2025.
