If you were worried that Konami would abandon making video games, worry no longer. Today at the PlayStation State of Play, they showed up in force. One particular announcement I was stoked about was Rev. NOiR.
Rev. NOiR seems to be an action JRPG with a Science Fiction Fantasy aesthetic. All the text we get to explain this game to us is in the YouTube description.
“When Hope Sparks Catastrophe
In a world shrouded in lightfall, a natural phenomenon that brings death to those it touches, A lonely boy who suffers from amnesia becomes acquainted with a special girl. Together, they set out on a journey to stop this phenomenon, Believing that the journey will save the world, and in turn, save her.
Fate, bestowed by the Gods? Or the power of will, borne from within humankind? Their journey ends up shaking the world. Unravel the mandate of heaven, and weave together the threads of hope in this completely new RPG experience.“
There is still a lot that we don’t know about this title, but I am excited to see what more Konami has in store for us with it.
Rev. NOiR is confirmed in development for PlayStation 5. It has no current release date.
