Cult PS1 SRPG Brigandine Returns to Fill the Fire Emblem Gap
Brigandine: Abyss, a new entry in the classic PS1 SRPG franchise that debuted in 1998, will receive its global release on August 26th. This represents a significant return for the long-dormant series and comes as a welcome alternative for strategy RPG fans awaiting news on Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave.
The new game introduces a completely original world and setting, making it accessible to players unfamiliar with the original Brigandine titles. Set in a fantasy world where the arcane power of Brigandine once defeated the Abyssloa Empire centuries ago, the game depicts a new iteration of this dark force rising again to conquer the world. Players will take on the role of defenders against this expanding empire.
Gameplay mechanics focus on strategic resource management, monster recruitment and tactical command, and turn-based combat against the antagonistic empire. The game offers six distinct story campaigns, each providing unique narrative perspectives and significant replay value for players exploring different viewpoints.
