Silent Hope opening movie

Marvelous today shared the official opening movie for Silent Hope, its upcoming action RPG for Switch.

The video is backed with a title track by the band Kami wa Saikoro wo Furanai and showcases the seven heroes enjoying some downtime at Base Camp before venturing into the Abyss to take on the enemies that lurk within its depths. Marvelous says that the rock band featuring Shuusaku Yanagita on vocals, Kiichi Yoshida on guitar, Gaku Kiriki on bass, and Ryousuke Kurokawa on drums complements the game’s wordless world with an energetic original song, setting players up for the perilous journey that lies ahead.

Yet another Fire Emblem Heroes summoning event is on the way, this time for Summer Firsts. It will include Ivy: Tidal Breeze (voiced by Reba Buhr, art by cuboon), Fjorm: Seaside Thaw (voiced by Heather Watson, art by Maeshima Shigeki), Tharja: Beach Dark Mage (voiced by Stephanie Sheh, art by Mai Okuma), and Ymir: Seasons of Life (voiced by Erin Yvette and Xanthe Huynh, art by ichikawa Halu)

The skills for Ivy include Divine Draught, Glimmer, Still Water 4, Sabotage A/R 3, and Soaring Guidance. Fjorm can use Ice-Bound Brand, Frostbite Mirror, Atk/Spd Finish 4, Spurn 4, and Time’s Pulse 4. For Tharja it’s Seashell Bowl+, Draw Back, S/R Far Trace 3, and Atk/Spd Gap 3. Lastly, Ymir has Sparkling Sun, Moonbow, Fireblood Boost 3, Mystic Boost 4, and Everliving Domain.

Creature Lab has been confirmed for Switch following a previous Kickstarter campaign. Image Power was looking to raise CA $10,000, and that goal was met. The success on Kickstarter means we’ll be seeing the title on Nintendo’s console.
