All’s fair in love and war
I love action games, and I love dating sims — how did it never occur to me that they ? Eternights was announced during today’s State of Play, and promises to bring both the adventure and romance we’ve all been craving. The trailer shows off some fast-paced, energic hack-and-slash gameplay, which is contrasted by a few moments that show off a beautiful 2D art style, which is presumably where the dating part comes in. The cutscenes are also animated in the 2D art style, giving the game a gorgeous anime flair.
The gameplay will include dungeon-crawling, where players will encounter traps, puzzles, mini-games, and of course, plenty of enemies. We didn’t get a great look at what the dating sim part will look like quite yet, but at the very least we’ll be able to hold someone’s hand, so that’s something.
“As a storyteller, I’ve always wanted to mix a love story with adrenaline-driven action,” Studio Sai founder Jae Yoo. “I wanted players to have a strong, personal reason to drive them forward in combat encounters and to feel they were fighting for more than just their own survival — they were fighting for those they love.”
Eternights will be available for🐟 PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC (on Steam an🗹d the Epic Games Store) in early 2023.
