Marvelous Europe dropped some serious intel today about their much-anticipated action-RPG, Silent Hope, hitting the Nintendo Switch™ in North America and Windows PC via Steam globally on October 3. A fresh gameplay trailer is out, showcasing each of the seven playable characters and their unique fighting skills and strengths. Gamers can get a solid rundown of what to expect when they journey into The Abyss, a perilous realm in need of heroes.
Gameplay Trailer Unveils Character Prowess
For gamers curious about their future in-game avatars, the new gameplay trailer gives a glimpse into the unique fighting styles of each of the seven heroes. Tailored to help players strategize before embarking on their quest to aid the Princess, the trailer walks players through each hero’s unique capabilities, from arcane magic to heavy weaponry.
‘Official World Guide’ Opens the Lore Vault
Alongside the gameplay footage, Marvelous Europe launched the first segment of their ‘Official World Guide.’ This online compendium serves as a treasure trove of details about the game world and its inhabitants. The initial update dives deep into Silent Hope’s rich backstory, revealing why the Princess has been trapped in a crystal teardrop and why she’s summoning her seven champions to action.
What Makes Silent Hope Stand Out
Silent Hope pays homage to the golden era of isometric dungeon-crawlers but spices things up with some modern enhancements. Players can select from seven distinct characters, each having not just their weapon and fighting style, but also a non-combat job to contribute to the team. After grinding in The Abyss, players will make their way back to Base Camp to optimize gear and prep for the next dungeon crawl. What’s more, the game offers procedurally generated dungeon layouts, making each dive into The Abyss a brand-new experience.
Preorder and Release Details
For those eager to secure their copy, preorders for Silent Hope’s standard edition are now open on the Marvelous Europe website and digitally for £34.99/$39.99 on the Nintendo eShop for the Nintendo Switch and Steam. Published by Marvelous Europe for the Nintendo Switch in Europe and Australia, and by XSEED Games for the Nintendo Switch in North America and globally for PC via Steam, Silent Hope carries a PEGI 12 rating.
