Preview: Eternal Anima Returns to the Past to Create a Modern JRPG

Marvelous' new IP Eternal Anima was officially unveiled in September's Nintendo Direct, and the author played an hour of a PC build at the publisher's Japanese headquarters. Protagonist Wade can travel between past and present, and his right-arm Psychometry powers let him read the past and foresee the future while unlocking new classes through equipped weapons. Combat is turn-based with predicted enemy moves, an Opening Strike for attacking first, and BP earned by guarding, breaking, or defeating enemies. The game launches on Switch 2 on 4th March 2027.
