Langrisser Schwarz revolves around the opposing three forces: Light, Empire, and Dark. After choosing a Force, the storyline will take the player through epic quests and strategic battles as they strive to conquer the world. In order to dynamically portray the Three Forces in Langrisser Schwarz, the developers focused on creating customised settings for each force – including unique visual color tones, background story, character style, profession choices, and different types of mercenaries. Each Force has a main quest that is unique to that faction, immersing the player within the different values of the chosen Force.

Langrisser Schwarz is scheduled for Asian release in Q4 of 2011. European and North American launch dates will be announced at a later stage.
