Today, at the end of the New Year livestream dedicated to the Muv-Luv series, aNCHOR revealed “Duty Lost Arcadia” with a new trailer.
Not many details about this new project have been revealed, but the title is not new: the original “Duty Lost Arcadia” was a book released in Japan in 2012 focusing on the European front of the Muv-Luv Alternative world.
It features short stories about the 44th Tactical Armor Battalion Zerberus from the Federal Republic of Germany, which is also at the center of the Muv-Luv Alternative Chronicles Aspiration visual novel (already available in English as part of the Muv-Luv Photonmelodies collection).
The trailer indeed references the Zerberus Battalion with the mention “it has finally begun” at the end, and the subtitle “The End of the Dawn.”
You can check the trailer below, alongside the cover of the original book, and a “Muv-Luv Alternative 15th Anniversary Video” created with clip selected from the fans, which was also released today. Do keep in mind that this second video includes spoilers.
