Chained Echoes, the long-awaited pixel JRPG developed by Matthias Linda and published by Deck13 Spotlight, has finally gotten a release date. The game, which combines a perfect mix of classic fantasy with mechs and airships, will be released on December 8th on PlayStation 4 & 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch and PC – prepare yourself for an epic story!

A magnum opus – 7 years in the making: After seven years of development, solo developer Matthias Linda’s magnum opus, Chained Echoes – a traditional and all-encompassing JRPG inspired by the classics of the SNES and PSX era – is finally ready. Players from all over the world can now look forward to an outstanding, top-class JRPG experience that will offer a number of challenges.

Players will find themselves on the continent of Valandis, finally at peace after centuries of war. But the world is scarred by the conflict between the three kingdoms and rumor has it that a weapon of mass destruction could pose an imminent threat. The peace is fragile because wars of this length do not simply disappear from people’s minds and a new one could break out at any moment… Can a group of strangers keep the peace? Can the weapon be destroyed?

Chained Echoes is a packed board: magic, mechs & swords, complex boss fights, turn-based battles, a complex story and around 40 hours of content. And while it’s more classic with its turn-based combat, the Overdrive system ensures combat still feels fast-paced while adding a new level of tactical depth. Customize your party’s abilities to suit your preferences and defeat even the most vile monsters like a furious whirlwind!

Medieval fantasy meets modern steampunk elements in the world of Chained Echoes. So get ready for both: gripping sword duels and intense mech fights! An incredibly detailed, handcrafted pixel world packed with curious creatures, multiple nations of human and anthropomorphic characters, each with their own cultures and lore backstories awaits players. Valandis offers explorers an extensive portfolio of areas with special challenges and exciting secrets!

The new trailer shows some new gameplay scenes, which show the fight (especially with mechs) and some of the visually impressive regions introduces that Matthias created.
