After a brutal bandit raid on her village, Aeta (voiced by Alby Baldwin) sets out to find her closest companion, Bianca (Jennifer English).
Inspired by classics of the genre and chivalric story tropes, 1348 Ex Voto will see Aeta encounter a series of trials on her path to knighthood. Along the way, she must face fanatical zealots, roaming bandits, and battle-hardened mercenaries - all against the backdrop of a virulent plague that threatens to tear apart an already fragile society.
Combat and exploration lie at the core of 1348 Ex Voto. Sedleo has carefully collaborated with industry experts to craft a combat system inspired by Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA), all while recreating the beauty of a rural 14th-century Italy.
“We are excited to finally show you what has been the focus of all our passion and hard work for the past few years: 1348 Ex Voto,” states Tom Oceano, Game Director, “this game’s story is dear to our hearts - it speaks of honour, justice, and sacrifice, in times where those words’ meaning was all but lost. We feel privileged to be able to pass it to you, and truly hope you’ll enjoy playing it as much as we loved delivering it.”
