Emberstoria official release

Square Enix has launched its new title, Emberstoria, today, November 27, 2024, in Japan. This game combines real-time strategy (RTS) with RPG elements, offering an experience focused on resource management, tactical battles, and a rich narrative driven by a cast of unique characters.

Launch Trailer

A national STR that stands out

In a market dominated by foreign RTS titles, Emberstoria stands out as a rare example of real-time strategy developed in Japan. Players take on the role of strategists, managing units, gathering resources, and facing off against both AI-controlled enemies and other players. The game takes place on a shared map, fostering both competition and cooperation among users.

Key features of the game include:

  • Accessible strategic systems: Ideal for both beginners and veterans.
  • Clear progression: Detailed guides that help ease players into the early stages of the game.
  • Conquest and Alliances: Players must collaborate or compete with others as they advance across the map toward Kizahashi. The key to success lies in forming strategic alliances to overcome obstacles.
  • Impact on the Game World: The leader of the alliance that controls the tower can influence the environment of the next cycle, including the introduction of new monsters and events. This ensures a dynamic and ever-changing experience.
  • Multiplayer content: From PvP Arena, where players compete against each other in fully automated battles where prior strategy, such as unit formation and skill synergy, is crucial, to Raid Bosses, where players must team up with up to four others to face giant monsters for valuable rewards.

Lively and dynamic characters

The character design, known as “Embers,” is one of the game’s greatest strengths. Each Ember possesses unique abilities that shape the tactical flow of battles. Additionally, the Live2D animation technology brings impressive fluidity to the models, making even the smallest details come to life.
  • Character design: Created by renowned artists such as Kozaki Yusuke (*Pokémon GO*, *Fire Emblem*).
  • Outstanding voice acting: Featuring a mix of celebrated voice actors, from emerging talents to seasoned veterans.
Each Ember has a personal story that unfolds progressively, allowing players to delve deeper into their backstories and build a stronger emotional connection with the characters.
