After some other trailers today, Square Enix has now shared a new look at the upcoming RPG Switch release SaGa Emerald Beyond.
This title was first introduced during Nintendo’s September Direct Showcase last year and is the next big entry in the long-running SaGa series. Today’s trailer puts the spotlight on ‘The Dismal King’ Siugnas, who has been dethroned. He is also one of the six protagonists of the game.
Below is the backstory on this person, courtesy of Square Enix:
“One of the protagonists – The Dismal King, banished from his throne. An immortal vampire and Dismal King who rules Yoma, a world shrouded in darkness. After being dethroned by someone or someone’s betrayal, he awakens to find himself in Brighthome, a world where fallen warriors are gathering. He is recruited into the king’s company of warriors called the Generals and sent to fight a chaotic battle against the invaders. But how did he, an immortal, end up in a world where only the dead can go? Along with fellow members of the Generals, he begins journey to regain his abilities as the Sorrowful King.”
When SaGa Emerald Beyond launches April 25, 2024, players can look forward to navigating 17 mysterious worlds and forging their own branching stories based on their choices and actions. There will also be multiple endings and “countless” scenes to discover, ensuring unique gameplay every time.
