There’s a tactics veteran on board, too
Adglobe and Binary Haze Interactive have announced their next project, heading into the realm of tactics.Redemption Reapersis a tactical RPG set to arrive on PC, PlayStation 4, and Switch in February 2023.
This new RPG is being developed by Adglobe and published by Binary Haze, both of which collaborated on 2021’sEnder Lilies: Quietus of the Knights. But rather than tackle the Metroidvania genre again, they’re looking towards tactics.
Redemption Reapersfollows the Ashen Hawk Brigade as it battles against an invading legion. It looks very grim, with the hordes of monsters rampaging across the countryside.
LongtimeFire Emblemdeveloper Masayuki Horikawa is working on the project, so it’s got some of that lineage.Redemption Reapersalso has a strong voice cast cued up, and a fairly different look from the usual tactics RPG.
“Following the success ofEnder Lilies, we aimed to approach a new genre ideal for sharing our love of dark fantasy stories,” said Binary Haze CEO Hiroyuki Kobayashi in a press release. “Redemption Reapers’ tactical RPG combat and emotional storytelling combine for a memorable experience we cannot wait to share with the world in early 2023.”
Search for redemption
We certainly saw a lot of tactics in 2022. Games likeTactics Ogre: Reborn,Triangle Strategy, andMario + Rabbids Sparks of Hopehave made for a hefty backlog for most tactics fans.
Still, there’s always room for something fresh and new.Ender Lilies, from what I’veseen other folks say about it, certainly seems like it did that. AndRedemption Reaperscould see this team-up work out for a surprise hit once again.
It won’t be a long wait, either way.Redemption Reapersaims to charge into a stacked early 2023 season, with a February launch window in mind. We’ll see how it holds up against the horde in a few months’ time.
