Edge of Eternity was a love letter to past RPGs when it released from Early Access in 2021, especially with contributions from famed composer Yasunori Mitsuda. Developer Midgar Studio is back with their latest action RPG, Edge of Memories. Along with the return of Mitsuda, their new game also features special guests Emi Evans (singer for the NieR series) and Mariam Abounnasr (Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and 3) alongside composer Cédric Menendez. Beyond the music, Midgar Studio has also enlisted the help of character designer Raita Kazama (Xenoblade Chronicles X) and writer Sawako Natori (NieR). Check out the debut trailer below:

Even though Edge of Memories was just announced, you can already wishlist the game. Here is what we know about the game based on its Steam page:

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.

Midgar Studio CEO Jérémy Zeler-Maury stated the following about their new title:

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.

Edge of Memories is expected to launch in Q4 2025 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. What did we think of Midgar Studio’s previous title? Check out our Edge of Eternity review from Audra Bowling. Stay tuned to RPGFan as we learn more about Edge of Memories!
