Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising Gets May Release Date, Launches Day One On Xbox Game Pass

Publisher 505 Games, Rabbit & Bear Studios, and NatsumeAtari have revealed the release date for Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising and it will hit PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG, next month. 

The Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Hereos prequel, which will be available on PC and consoles starting May 10, will retail for $14.99. However, Rising hits PC and Xbox Game Pass on launch day so if you’re a subscriber there, you can check out this game through that service for free. 

“After a massive earthquake revealed Runebarrows deep below a town on the remote frontier of the Allraan known as New Nevaeh, fortune-seeking adventurers and merchants from across the world arrive,” a press release reads. “Among those hoping to find treasure, three star-crossed heroes come together. CJ, Garoo and Garoo are hoping to find the Rune Lens. This is an underground source of magic. Isha, the Young Deputy Mayor, wants to rebuild her town.” 

As previously revealed, Rising is a “fast-paced 2.5D action RPG with town-upgrading elements” that serves as a companion prequel to Hundred Heroes, which is expected to launch in 2023 as a spiritual successor to Suikoden. In fact, Rabbit & Bear Studios is headed by Yoshitaka Murayama, who is one of the creators behind the Suikoden franchise. 

CJ is quick to strike with lightning-fast strikes and uses his climbing axes for combat. Isha fights far away using magic and sorcery while Garoo wields a huge sword to slash at enemies wherever they may be on the battlefield. You can freely swap between characters to unleash Link Attacks, which combine each hero’s specialty for devastating amounts of damage. 

“Scavenge dungeons and earn materials to reconstruct New Neveah to its former glory and reap benefits applying to Hundred Heroes when it releases in 2023,” a press release reads. “Cross content includes special cosmetic items, valuable equipment, and trade goods. You can make a mark in the Eiyuden Chronicle world by naming specific weapons or delicacies that are included in Rising. These names will transfer to Hundred Heroes next season. 

“Within the Runebarrows hides a deep-rooted conspiracy with shocking ramifications for the Eiyuden Chronicle universe. Prepare for Hundred Heroes’ intricate plot and globe-spanning adventure by playing through the inciting events in Rising.” 

Eiyuden Chronicle : Rising is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 4. It will also be available for Switch, Xbox One, Switch, Switch, and PC starting May 10. You will pay $14.99. It will be available for purchase at $14.99
