Rise Eterna is a classic-style strategy RPG coming to Steam and Nintendo Switch. It’s the kind of game that knows its audience, and will probably do well by playing to exactly what that audience wants. That wasn’t meant in a cynical way, mind you. The official website for Rise Eterna calls it “nostalgia on steroids” and fully admits that it caters to lovers of games like Fire Emblem and Final Fantasy Tactics. If you loved those games, and are somehow already tired of Wargroove and Octopath Traveler, then this one’s for you.
Rise Eterna is listed as coming out in the second quarter of 2019, according to its Steam page. That should be very soon, considering we’re well in the second quarter of 2019. The trailer also shows off its Switch box art. It’ll definitely be of interest to fans of ’90s tactical RPGs, and might even offer some surprising modern twists. We’ll try to check in once it’s released, assuming all the summer sales don’t get to our wallets first.
