Despite the game’s humble beginnings,Eternightswas given a rather impressive reveal trailer as part of therecent State of Play. The trailer does a great job at showcasing what the game is about as it not only shows real-time hack and slash battles, but also the special images and events players will discover as they date the game’s characters. While things are unclear on which characters are datable right now, some of the girls and at least one boy are options.
It most definitely comes off as a rather interesting game as it features almost everything from a motorcycle chase sequence, to a calendar system teasing players with a time limit of what they can accomplish each daynot unlikePersona 5. The reveal even hints at potential party mechanics that may be unlocked as fans bond and date the characters found in the game.
The calendar system is not the only thing thatEternightshas taken inspirationfrom thePersonaseriesfor, however, as the developers have made it rather clear thatEternightsis a"Personainspired action game." However, unlike its inspiration, it aims to go all-in with dating sim mechanics as even in-game animated cutscenes will change depending on who players date.
Something that many fans have to look forward to in regards to the game’s dating aspects is that players won’t need to feel restricted to dating the girls as they play.Eternightsfeatures a character known as Yohan who has been explicitly mentioned to be one of the LGBT relationships players can encounter in the game. For fans who wish to see more, they should keep an eye on Studio Sai’s official channels.
Eternightsis currently scheduled to release in early 2023 for PC, PS4, and PS5.
