News: NACON and Midgar Studio revealed Action JRPG Edge of Memories
NACON and Midgar Studio announced
Edge of Memories,
the new project set in the universe of Edge of Eternity. Released in 2021, this indie JRPG made in France has captivated
over 1 million players worldwide on PC and consoles.
Based in Montpellier in the south of France, Midgar is a small-scale studio made up of developers who are passionate about
Japanese role-playing games and want to take their passion even further. With Edge of Memories, they offer players a new
adventure that is accessible to both fans and newcomers, combining the richness of JRPGs with an artistic touch inspired
by French animation.
This epic third-person Action RPG was created in collaboration with renowned artists in the genre, including character designer
Raita Kazama (Xenoblade Chronicles X), writer Sawako Natori (NieR), singer Emi Evans (NieR & NieR: Automata), as well as composers
Yasunori Mitsuda (Chrono Trigger & Xenogears) and Mariam Abounnasr (Xenoblade Chronicles 3 & ONINAKI).
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.
With Edge of Memories, players will be able to embark on a new adventure in the world of Heryon in Fall 2025 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.
