Here’s a rundown on the March 2022-announced game:

The DioField Chronicle

The era of myths gives way to an era of great turmoil…

The world of men is mired by an age of war which rages for year on end.

A band of elite mercenaries calling themselves Blue Fox arise amidst the flames and the chaos, their fates and valiant deeds to be sung of in ages yet to come.

But when all is said and done, will the name “Blue Fox” come to signify hope or darkest tragedy?
