Watch 28 Minutes of Eiyuden Chronicle Rising’s Gameplay

Today Rabbit & Bear Studios and 505 Games released a video showcasing 25 minutes of gameplay of Eiyuden Chronicle Rising.

The video showcases gameplay a few hours into the companion game of Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, picking up a bit after the end of the demo I tried a few days ago for my hands-on preview, which means the gameplay is a bit more advanced and the third character (Isha) is unlocked.

Eiyuden Chronicle Rising releases on Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, and PC this year.

If you’re unfamiliar with the game, here’s an official description:

“Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising combines a thrilling adventure through ancient ruins with the tale of one town’s rise from the ashes.

Drawn by lenses and other treasure in the nearby Runebarrows, our heroes learn that the town is struggling to rebuild after an earthquake and decide to help. Along the way, they’ll resolve disputes between eager adventurers and wary locals who don’t think the Barrows should be disturbed. And they’ll learn more about each other’s reasons for seeking treasure, deepening their bonds in the process.

As you will learn, these Runebarrows hide a great secret that has fateful implications for one of the characters. What begins as a simple treasure hunt turns into a dark conspiracy that will shake the world and plant seeds that carry over into the main story of Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes.

The game will introduce a portion of Eiyuden Chronicle’s cast of characters in an original story with thrilling action and engaging town-upgrading elements.”
