The DioField Chronicle is a fresh new franchise developed in conjunction with Lancarse Ltd. and features unique character designs by Taiki (Lord of Vermilion III, IV), concept art by Isamu Kamikokuryo (Final Fantasy XII, Final Fantasy XIII) and has beautifully orchestrated music by world-renowned composers Ramin Djawadi and Brandon Campbell, known best for their work on Game of Thrones.

The DioField Chronicleis set in a beautiful and unique world blending fantasy, medieval and modern-day influences. Under the steady hand of the Shaytham dynasty, the Kingdom of Alletain on DioField Island has known peace for 200 years, but suddenly find themselves cast into an age of uncertainty due to the rise of warlike powers and modern magic.

The Kingdom of Alletain is rich in the mineral Jade, prized for its use as a base ingredient in magic and sorcery, and the attention of both the Empire and the Alliance inevitably turns towards the island. Players will take control of a band of elite mercenaries calling themselves “Blue Fox”, but will the name “Blue Fox” come to signify hope or darkest tragedy?

The new trailer provides a first look at the story and new, deeply strategic real-time battle system called ‘Real-Time Tactical Battle’ (RTTB). Told through stunning ‘diorama’-style combat scenes, players will assess front line conditions in real-time, issue decisive orders and use a variety of skills, classes, and equipment to gain the upper hand over their foes.

The DioField Chronicle is a deeply strategic RPG, set in a world of honor and political intrigue. Over the course of a compellingly deep story, you direct and your units through multiple combat encounters, using the ‘Real-Time Tactical Battle’ (RTTB) system.

As the name implies, combat takes place in real-time - you can pause the game to give orders and survey the battlefield, but the world and enemies won’t sit still and wait for your troops to take their turns.

This means that you’ll have to carefully assess front line conditions, be decisive with your orders and make smart use of a wide variety of skills, classes and equipment to gain the upper hand. And, of course, this all takes place on stunning battlefields that fuse diorama and reality and give the game a distinct and beautiful visual style.

The DioField Chronicle is coming to the Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch and PC (Steam) in 2022.
