A calamity has fractured the world of Numen into nine floating planetoids. Diverse nations now hover isolated from each other in the sky, while the ocean hovers above them all, enveloping the broken planet, which hangs by a thread. Two rival powers vie for control—the Syndicate through their monopoly on a little understood but powerful technology that relies on mysterious Corron minerals that they control; and the Sovereign, which favors a return to the now nearly lost ways of the ancients outlined in the banned Numen Tomes.

Players follow Rin, voiced by Ginger Sue (Devil May Cry: Peak of Combat, Dragonheir: Silent Gods, My Time at Sandrock). Rin must search for her missing father following his disappearance under mysterious circumstances and heal the broken planet of numen9. Along her journey, Rin encounters a diverse cast of characters that present choices that will shape both Rin and numen9’s future.

Travel further away from home than you’ve ever been before. From your family's rytail farm on Yantar, to the harsh desolate wasteland of the Bleached Relics. Explore the mysterious and ancient landscapes of Numen and unearth items to understand the world around you. You never know what you might find along the way.

It’s not just about what you do, but how you react. Think about who you want to be, as the world of Numen will mirror itself to your personality, the items in the world, and your dialogue options. Dialogue choices you make reflect in your Character Stats which go towards unlocking further dialogue options and unique customization items. Increase your intelligence, humor, courage, compassion, and luck, but be wary of what you say, the people you meet along the way aren’t afraid to talk back…

“It’s been a fantastic experience working with this incredibly talented cast. They helped us fully realize the characters of numen9 as we imagined them and their rich performances brought our universe to life,” said Jason Loftus, CEO and executive producer at Lofty Sky Entertainment. 

As an entrée into the world of Sky of Tides, the studio will release nine audio diaries or novellas providing backstories for each of the main characters. Players can sign up to receive these novellas on the new Sky of Tides site.

“We wanted to introduce players to our characters and the unique world of numen9 before they play the game,” said Loftus. “So we worked with the actors to create this series of audio novellas as something that can live outside the game but bring players in.” 

Sky of Tides: Atla is an original five-episode animated series that will be available exclusively for a limited time and at no extra charge as an unlockable reward in the game. It explores the world of numen9 from the perspective of another protagonist, Atla Gildeon, voiced by Angela Tran (Genshin Impact, The Titan’s Bride, Joey & Ella).
