- Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising – Launch into a thrilling adventure through ancient ruins with the tale of one town’s rise from the ashes. What begins as a simple treasure hunt turns into a dark conspiracy that will shake the world.

But these Runebarrows hide a great secret with fateful implications. This action-RPG introduces a portion of Eiyuden Chronicle’s cast of characters in an original story with thrilling combat and engaging town-upgrading elements. Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising will be available on May 10.
