Last year, Omega Force announced they were working on a new upcoming action role-play game WILD HEARTS. The reveal trailer showcased the kind of world we should expect from this game. The world of Azuma is inspired by the time period of Feudal Japan, Omega Force developed the environment to be primitive and filled with danger but also world filled with life and potential. They also revealed a gameplay trailer giving us a quick overview of the combat system. Now the developers posted a new trailer dwelling more into the lore of the enemies and combat system of the game.
The battles with the Kemono have been going on for centuries. They are ferocious beasts that resemble the appearance of animals but look different due to them being infused with the power of nature. We see Kemono that resembles a gorilla but looks as if its made of vines, while the other looks like a giant hawk They are described as” ferocious as wildfires and unstoppable as the incoming tide” explaining how dangerous and challenging it is to stand against them. Their only hope is the ancient technology of the Karakuri.
Much like the beasts the hunters face, the Karakuri is an ancient technology that also draws power from nature. Its power is ancient and the hunters have learned to harness its power. With the power of the Karakuri, the hunters are able to engineer various weapons to combat against the Kemono, tools for everyday life as well as methods of transportation such as the mobile wheel the hunter is rising. Players will explore and venture out into the wilds on the quests to tame the world of Azuma. WILD HEARTS is available for preorders and is scheduled to be released February 17, 2023 and will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
