Set in the universe of Edge of Eternity, Edge Of Memories is a JRPG where players will be able to embark on a new adventure in the world of Heryon.

The population of Avaris is ravaged by the Corrosion, a terrible affliction that mutates all it infects into grotesque abominations. Play as Eline, a young nomad, and lead fierce battles alongside your allies to save the world from extinction.

The Corrosion, a plague of unparalleled proportions, has already ravaged the Astryan continent. On the other side of the world, the continent of Avaris and its nomadic peoples—so far spared from the horrors spawned by this abomination—now stand on the brink of extinction. Eline, an itinerant Soul Whisperer, relentlessly battles the force that turns the once-thriving fauna, flora and humans of this lush land into grotesque abominations. Following a mysterious encounter, a dark power awakens within her, one that may hold the key to ending this apocalypse: the ability to control the Corrosion within her own body.

But saving a world already doomed is no easy task. With the help of Ysoris, her unlikely mentor, and Kanta, shaman prince of a lost tribe, Eline must overcome the formidable adversaries standing in her way.


Based in Montpellier in the south of France, Midgar is a small-scale studio made up of developers who are passionate about Japanese role-playing games and want to take their passion even further. With Edge Of Memories, they offer players a new adventure that is accessible to both fans and newcomers, combining the richness of JRPGs with an artistic touch inspired by French animation. This epic third-person Action RPG was created in collaboration with renowned artists in the genre, including character designer Raita Kazama (Xenoblade Chronicles X), writer Sawako Natori (NieR), singer Emi Evans (NieR / NieR: Automata), as well as composers Yasunori Mitsuda (Chrono Trigger / Xenogears) and Mariam Abounnasr (Xenoblade Chronicles 3 / ONINAKI).

This new installment takes place on the continent of Avaris, where a plague called the Corrosion turns wildlife and humans into abominations. Eline, a young itinerant Soul Whisperer, roams the land, using her fantastic abilities to heal the tormented inhabitants. Developed with Unreal Engine 5Edge Of Memories immerses players in the heart of an exciting epic that pays tribute to the JRPG genre. The game features a vibrant and colorful world, as well as a story that explores powerful themes such as the exodus of peoples, a world plagued by disease, the quest for origins, and the need to adapt to an ever-changing environment.

“We are thrilled to expand the world of the Edge of franchise with a new installment that takes on a fresh artistic direction and marks a turning point in gameplay, shifting from the strategic turn-based style of its predecessor in favor of a more dynamic and immersive Action RPG approach. As true JRPG enthusiasts, we have poured a lot of love into this project, and we can't wait to share it with both fans of the genre and newcomers alike.” says Jérémy Zeler-Maury, CEO of Midgar Studio.
