Marvelous has announced ETERNAL ANIMA, a new turn-based RPG 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, with a digital deluxe edition available for 8778 yen.
The game features a "Future Prediction Battle" system where enemy actions are displayed in advance, allowing players to strategize without reliance on random elements. Director Katsuhisa Higuchi emphasizes that this design aims to provide a sense of satisfaction through player choice, moving away from luck-based outcomes. Players can also utilize "Wisdom Inheritance" to acquire new jobs and skills by reading memories from objects.
Development director Katsuhisa Higuchi and producer Makoto Shioda lead the project, which includes contributions from scenario writer Kazushige Nojima and composer Hitoshi Sakimoto. The team noted that while the game focuses on a dramatic story and turn-based combat, they have balanced the protagonist's versatility with fixed character roles to maintain strategic depth.
ETERNAL ANIMA follows the protagonist Wade, who uses the ability to read memories to navigate between the past and present. The game is designed for players who enjoy traditional JRPG styles, offering side quests and optional dungeons alongside the main narrative. The developers intend for the game to resonate with fans who appreciate the depth of 1990s-era RPGs.
