Happinet Corporation has officially unveiled Brigandine Abyss, the next chapter in the long-running fantasy strategy RPG series, set to launch on PlayStation 5 later this year. The reveal came during today’s State of Play, showcasing a teaser trailer that sets the stage for epic battles and political intrigue across a richly detailed fantasy world.

Return to the Hex Grid

Brigandine Abyss continues the series’ signature hex-based battles, where players command units of knights, monsters, and magical troops. You can lead one of six factions and make decisions that shape the continent of Meltitea. Each choice impacts the outcome of massive battles, making tactical planning essential.

The game retains over 100 unique units with distinct skills, elemental affinities, and traits. However, it also introduces new systems to enhance strategic gameplay. In addition, fully realized 3D battlefields bring the world to life, immersing players in every clash.

Multiple Storylines and Extensive Playtime

Beyond the main campaign, which follows the six protagonists, Brigandine Abyss offers optional side quests featuring the continent’s 24 factions. Combined, this provides over 200 hours of gameplay, giving fans plenty of content to explore. Each faction has its own motivations, adding layers of strategy and replayability to the game.

Saito’s involvement highlights the passion behind the latest installment and reassures fans that both series veterans and new players will find something to enjoy.
