Dark Metroidvania Awaken Astral Blade gets free prologue ahead of launch
There's something that remains utterly beguiling about a good Metroidvania. That slow unlocking of new abilities, the map becoming open to you in surprising ways, and the feeling of exploration all make them compelling games, many years after the original Metroid and Castlevania games first appeared on the scene. New platformer Awaken Astral Blade looks set to expand the roster of brilliant Metroidvanias like Hollow Knight, Cave Story, or Blasphemous, and you can try it out for free ahead of its launch.

AWAKEN - Astral Blade | Love, Trust + Bionic Clones, Prologue... and much more!
Hello everyone!
We're only 11 days away from releasing AWAKEN - Astral Blade into the wild, and things are progressing nicely! So, we shared more info about the game's world in the previous diary, and today, we would like to tell you about the main character of the project - Tania, and her emotional module, Cythna... and we have a lot more exciting news if you read this article to the end
[h2]Tania[/h2]
The clones codenamed "Tania" from the OS-CR100 series were created by Dr. Herveus, the chief scientist and leading biologist of the Orson Group. To develop the best Tania, he combined data provided by Gaghti, a Bionic created during the Jacha City era and the AI leader of the indigenous people, with the DNA of Molla, an ancient warrior, and Karpas energy. This resulted in a highly intelligent and physically powerful combatant.
She has a new goal, assigned by her creator, Dr. Herveus, to search and rescue a missing Investigation team in the rainforest of Horace Islands, where mysterious Karpas energy turns local animals and plants into aggressive mutants, and slowly uncovering the dark, sinister secrets of the past — what happened to the land and its inhabitants.
[h2]Cythna[/h2]
Tania, one of Dr. Herveus's most successful artificial creations, is constantly tasked with hazardous and complex missions. Over time, a separate independent personality, Cythna, emerged within her emotional module. As Cythna grows stronger, the split in Tania's personality deepens. Tania is torn between her programmed obedience to Dr. Herveus and Cythna's constant resistance to harming the innocent. What will Tania choose? You will find out on October 22nd!
But before that, we promised more exciting news... we're happy to announce that the ESDigital Games will be at the POLARIS Convention 2024 at Hamburg Congress Center from October 11-13!
