"War of Genesis: Remnant of Gray" release confirmed for December
Remake of popular 90s fantasy RPG slated for 2023 December release schedule.
The series that arguably defined Fantasy RPG games in the 90s and beyond in Korea; War of Genesis has its first two titles remade into a single game and confirmed for a 2023 December release on the Nintendo Switch.
In the world of Antaria, two factions divided by religion are locked in constant conflict. The Silver Arrow alliance led by the Pandragon Kingdom and the Dark Armor alliance led by the Gaysir Empire. A prolonged power balance between the two faction was broken by the Black Prince of Gaysir who managed to turn the tables on absolute defeat of the Empire into the destruction of Pandragon. The Silver Arrow alliance now in ruin with Pandragon defeated losing its King and three eldest princes, princess Iyolin Pandragon vows to raise the banner of Silver Arrow once more and take vengeance on the Gaysie Empire. Such is her determination that she would gain the moniker “goddess of vengeance” .
Gameplay mainly consists of two modes; exploration mode and SRPG(tile-based rpg) combat mode. The two modes were designed with the purpose of providing a more user-friendly experience for exploring while preserving the traditional turned base combat of the original.
War of Genesis: Remnant of Gray will include the contents of War of Genesis 1, 2, spin-offs placed in the same time frame, and content that was dropped for the original due to development issues.
Line Games acquired rights to the IP with the intent to remake the entire series and established a department dedicated to this task. Though the exact date is yet to be revealed, Line Games announced plans to release a demo version and pre-order schedule ahead of the December release.
The announcement itself feels sudden in the midst of troubling development schedule and rumors but I’m here hoping the release turns out successful enough to justify the continuation of the series remake up until at least the remake of the Zephyre spin-off.
