The next action-RPG from developer FuRyu is Reynatis, which is currently set to launch around the world on September 27, 2024. Those looking forward to it will have plenty to dig into beyond the full game itself, because nine free updates are planned for post-launch release.
NIS America shared some vague details along with the announcement. According to the press release, Reynatis players can look forward to a “secret episode,” as well as new story episodes for lead characters Marin Kirizumi and Sari Nishijima. Aside from that, all we know is we can expect “more action, magical clashes, and additional story insights.”
A handful of new screenshots debuted with the news, and NIS America promises more information on free updates in the future.
Set against the backdrop of a magic-infused depiction of Tokyo, Reynatis follows a wizard named Marin as he runs into Sari in Shibuya. Sari is an officer of the M.E.A., an organization tasked with regulating magic and reining in wizards. Magic killed Sari’s sister, thrusting her into the magic enforcement role. Meanwhile, Marin seeks liberation and additional power. Sounds like a recipe for clashing personalities and motives, if you ask me.
These story beats work their way into the game’s exploration and combat system. In Suppression Mode, Marin can hide his identity and explore freely. Switching to Liberation Mode on the fly lets Marin unleash his powerful magic for some cinematic action. Doing so, however, also attracts the attention of the M.E.A.
We’ll have to wait until closer to launch to find out how that story dynamic expands with the nine updates planned so far. When Reynatis arrives, it’ll be available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
