Blind Fate: Edo No Yami release date set for September, new trailer

Blind Fate: Edo No Yami now has a release date on Switch, with publisher 101XP and developer Troglobytes Games announcing today that the title is slated for September 15, 2022.

The project was first confirmed back in September 2021. It’s a 2.5D sci-fi action adventure game set in a world now ruled by bloodthirsty machines. Read more about it below.

In Blind Fate: Edo No Yami, players enter a dark and machine-filled Edo period as the Shogunate rules Japan, with their power and prestige rooted deep within society. Your mantra? Follow orders, obey your overlords, and kill. That was up until your sight was taken away in a deadly conflict, now nothing is what it seems.

As you re-awaken, the balance of life changes in an instant. Relying solely on your damaged sensors, learn to survive and heed the advice of your mentor – Become stronger and dive head-first through a path of rage in this insane and fantastical world of cybernetics and ancient mythology. Everything you once knew is turned upside down, as you relearn everything that made you a skilled, samurai assassin.

Will you succumb to the loss of your eyesight or will you overcome your difficulties, trust in your newfound technology, and defeat all those you meet in the crossroads during this tale of Blind Fate?

Key Features

• Your sensors pierce the curtain of the past. Without your eyesight, you must use sound, smell, and heat to explore the world, uncovering centuries of lore and guiding Yami on his vengeful, story-driven journey as ancient memories pave the way to see the present.
• Discover your new found abilities to detect your enemies and identify their weak spots, then crush them with lightning speed. Even blind, you are unstoppable!
• Make use of ‘The Mask of the Oni’ which creates a simulation of the world around you. Tread carefully however: all you remember has changed and data from both past and present can either lead you to victory or deceive you with echoes of memories that no longer exist.
• Discover the story of dozens of robotic versions of Japanese folklore creatures. Find their weaknesses, let metal meet metal, and destroy each one with devastating finishers!

“The entire team has been hard at work in these past two years, creating a game that encapsulated our passions, smothering it in art and history, and fine tuning the battle system to bring a refreshing challenge to players of the genre,” said Troglobyte Games CEO Saverio Caporusso. If you’re as excited as us, we invite you to wishlist and pre-order the game today, myself and the team will be waiting for you at the Dojo come September 15th!”
