Equipped with weapons specially forged to fight these monsters, the main character will have to learn to face them and use his equipment wisely.

To see more, you will have to wait, the title is set for the moment at 2023. But a first video already makes it possible to take stock of the visual aspect, under Unreal Engine 5, a kind of techno-SF dystopia with the Master Sword in the hands.
