Developed by Game Studio and published by Bandai Namco, the third-person mech shooter SYNDUALITY: Echo of Ada, launching for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and Steam, has released its latest gameplay trailer while also providing an update on the game's development progress. The official statement mentions that in response to the expectations of players, they are working hard on development and hope that everyone can give the developers some more time.
The game's release date has been postponed from its original plan in 2023 to an unspecified date. However, it has been confirmed that the game will participate in the upcoming Tokyo Game Show 2023, where they will announce the latest updates and provide a chance for attendees to try the game first-hand. They are also considering releasing a demo to allow players worldwide to experience the game.
According to official introduction,
SYNDUALITY: Echo of Ada takes place in 2222, years after a mysterious poisonous rain called “The Tears of the New Moon” wiped out most of humanity and birthed deformed creatures that now hunt the population. Amidst the calamity, humans build an underground haven named Amasia, where they discover and begin to collaborate with forms of artificial intelligence called Magus.
In the game, players will step into the shoes of the Drifters, people who make a living collecting AO crystals, a rare resource available on Earth. In this quest they must face xenomorphic creatures known as Enders, while counting on Magus, their AI partners, to guide them through their journey, help them in fights, and provide directions, hints, and warnings.
All the while, they will be developing and strengthening the bond between player and AI. Gameplay and combat in SYNDUALITY centers around Cradle Coffins, armed vehicles in which players can fully control and personalize, from appearance to weapon loadouts, to fit their own playstyle. Players can also join other Drifters online to either help them in their missions or hinder their progress by fighting to loot their precious resources.
