Return to Heryon in Edge of Memories, Midgar Studio’s new project set in the same universe as 2021’s Edge of Eternity. The people behind Edge of Memories have great experience under their belts, including character designer Raita Kazama (Xenoblade Chronicles X), writer Sawako Natori (NieR), singer Emi Evans (NieR, NieR: Automata), and composers Yasunori Mitsuda (Chrono Trigger, Xenogears) and Mariam Abounnasr (Xenoblade Chronicles 3, Oninaki). The game was announced today alongside a reveal trailer, and is expected to launch late this year.
Here is the description of the game, from a press release:
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 5, Edge of Memories immerses players in the heart of an exciting epic that pays tribute to the JRPG genre. The game features a vibrant and colourful 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.
With dynamic gameplay and real-time combat, Edge of Memories offers a decidedly action-oriented experience: to achieve victory, players must master Eline’s abilities, chain spectacular combos with her two companions, and awaken the devastating power of the Berserk that lies dormant within her.
The game was revealed as part of IGN’s Fan Fest 2025. Here is its trailer:
“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 favour of a more dynamic and immersive Action RPG approach,” states Midgar Studio CEO Jérémy Zeler-Maury in a press release. “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.”
Developed by Midgar Studio and published by Nacon, Edge of Memories will be released for PC (Steam), PlayStation 5, and Xbox series this fall (Q4 2025).
