Story

The year is 1209.
The threat of the mafia organization “Armata” has passed, and the Republic of Calbard has regained its former peace.

Then one day…
One day, in a corner of the capital city of Edith, a bizarre incident occurs in which a CID (Central Intelligence Agency) special forces unit is brutally murdered by someone.
The Calvados police and the ranger association start to work to bring the situation under control.
The Calvado Police Department and the Rambler’s Association move to contain the situation, but underworld forces smell a new disturbance and begin to take action.

And then…
Van Arklaid, the “Spriggan,” is one of them.
Van Arklaid, the “Spriggan”, is also forced to investigate when an unexpected person comes to visit.
Who exactly is the person who caused the slaughter? What is his purpose?
And what is Agnes’ quest to find her great-grandfather’s last legacy, the Eighth Genesis?

The roar of the beastly “red dawn” and the roar of a different form.
and the encounter between a boy and a girl in pursuit of “something”.
The encounter between a boy and a girl in pursuit of “something” and the roar of a beastly “red dawn” alien form leads their “trajectory” to an inescapable cause and effect.

The Legend of Heroes: Kuro no Kiseki II -CRIMSON SiN- is launching on September 29th in Japan across PS4 and PS5, and sometime later in 2022 in Asia with Chinese and Korean subtitles.
