Tokyo Game Show certainly has delivered some fantastic reveals this year.
Project EVILBANE is one such title that looks brilliant.
It has a Final Fantasy feel about it, albeit if you threw in a couple of Dark Souls-inspired bosses.
Developed by Netbarble Monster, Project EVILBANE is an action RPG that also incorporates strategy elements.
Little is known about the titleâs story beyond the fact that itâs set within a dark fantasy world inspired by Netmarbleâs Raven IP.
Players will enter a conflict where warlords and demonic forces battle for control.
Thatâll see you partake in plenty of skirmishes, but you donât have to go it alone.
Project EVILBANE can be enjoyed solo, but you can also play online with friends.
Youâll be able to freely switch between both ranged and melee weapons, although precise examples arenât yet available, whilst youâll also customise your skills to create a build that suits your play style preferences.
There are challenging boss fights to deal with as well as âa variety of strategic missionsâ where âyour choices and teamwork will determine your victoryâ.
Thatâs according to its Steam listing.
âIn a world shattered by the rise of the Archdemon, the journey of those who have sworn vengeance begins,â teases the synopsis.
âAs humans, demons, and traitors clash endlessly in a dark fantasy world, warriors take up their swords to save a kingdom in chaos.â
“Will you survive the encroaching darkness… or bring back the light? Only you and your comrades hold the answer!”
Beyond this, thereâs very little out there about the title at the moment.
You can, however, enjoy a trailer which debuted during Xboxâs most recent showcase.
The trailer has certainly drummed up some hype for this surprise reveal; Iâm always relieved to see a reveal trailer that incorporates plenty of gameplay as well as cinematics.
âLooking dope,â wrote one viewer.
âOne of the best looking games out of the entire showcase,â added another.
A few questioned whether Project EVILBANE will ever actually be released after it set a rather far off 2027 launch window for Xbox Series X/S consoles.
That remains to be seen but I can add that itâs targeting a late 2026 release for PC so thatâs something.
Whether itâll come to PlayStation or even Game Pass, we donât yet know.
Weâll keep an eye on the gameâs progress, and Iâm sure you can too by giving the title a wishlist over on Steam.
