Marvelous has officially announced ETERNAL ANIMA, a new JRPG scheduled for release on March 4, 2027. The title will be available on Nintendo Switch 2, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. Standard editions are priced at 7678 yen, while the digital deluxe edition costs 8778 yen.
The game features a turn-based combat system centered on a "future prediction" mechanic. Players can visualize the outcomes of their actions, including damage and status effects, before committing to a turn. Tactical depth is further enhanced by a timeline system where players manipulate turn order and exploit enemy weaknesses to trigger "break" states, which cancel enemy actions and provide strategic advantages.
The reviewer noted that the game offers a highly immersive experience, describing a "zone"-like state of deep concentration during boss encounters. While the combat is praised for its strategic fairness and lack of random elements, the reviewer cautioned that the lack of HP and MP recovery after battles requires careful resource management. Some minor concerns were raised regarding the relatively slow movement speed during exploration.
Beyond combat, the game incorporates an "Eichi Keisho" system, allowing players to acquire new jobs and skills by reading memories from objects using the protagonist Wade's "Dokusijutsu" ability. The title offers multiple difficulty settings, including a high-difficulty mode intended for players who enjoy complex strategic planning.
