Nacon has announced that it has delayed Edge of Memories from its November 5 release date to a new launch date of December 3. It will still launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.
In a press release, Nacon states “This quieter period will allow players to discover the game at their own pace and fully appreciate it,” which is an undeniable allusion to the game’s initial release date being place in the midst of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Grand Theft Auto VI‘s releases. That said, an updated demo for Edge of Memories will now release in early November.
Check out the new environmental and opening trailers for Edge of Memories below:
Environment
Opening
As previously announced, NieR writer Sawako Natori played a major role in creating the story of Edge of Memories. Cédric Menendez composes the soundtrack of Edge of Memories, with a final theme by Yasunori Mitsuda (Chrono Trigger, Xenoblade Chronicles series) and vocals by Emi Evans (NieR series). Vocalist Marion Schneider (Edge of Eternity / Temtem), composer Mariam Abounnasr (Xenoblade Chronicles 3 / ONINAKI) and character designer Raita Kazama (Xenoblade Chronicles X) also contributed to the project.
Edge of Memories developer Midgar Studio was shut down after failing to secure a buyer, but all of the creative work on the game is already complete. A dedicated team is handling the technical aspects to ensure that the console and PC versions are ready. Lastly, the Steam page describes the game as follows:
The Corrosion, a plague of unparalleled proportions, has already ravaged the Astryan continent. On the other side of the world, the continent of Avaris and its nomadic peoples—so far spared from the horrors spawned by this abomination—now stand on the brink of extinction. Eline, an itinerant Soul Whisperer, relentlessly battles the force that turns the once-thriving fauna, flora and humans of this lush land into grotesque abominations. Following a mysterious encounter, a dark power awakens within her, one that may hold the key to ending this apocalypse: the ability to control the Corrosion within her own body.
But saving a world already doomed is no easy task. With the help of Ysoris, her unlikely mentor, and Kanta, shaman prince of a lost tribe, Eline must overcome the formidable adversaries standing in her way.
