Game publisher PLAYISM (https://playism.com/) and Why so serious, Inc.'s brand "WSS playground" announced that the latest Metroidvania action game "Chimera Blade", developed by Team Ladybug and originally scheduled to be released in August 2024, has been postponed after careful consideration in order to pursue better game quality.


Introduction to the game "Phantom Blade Chimera"

The past will transform into various forms and accompany the man. And this loneliness is your most powerful strength.

This is an original Metroidvania action game created by Team Ladybug, a professional team that has created 2D exploration action games such as the Touhou Project spin-off game "Touhou Luna Nights", which has sold over 500,000 copies worldwide, and the spin-off game "Record of Lodoss War" "Deedlit's Wonderland Adventure".

In "Illusion Blade Chimera", you will control the magic sword "Yoin Blade" transformed by the demon "Lacus" to generate shields or repair objects, so as to explore the cyberpunk world of Osaka in the near future. There are many kinds of weapons in this game, and you can equip different weapons on both hands. In addition to the big sword behind you, you can also use a quick short sword and a long-range attack gun, etc., so that you can overcome difficulties with your favorite fighting style.

This game also adds a skill tree growth system, where you can use the points you get when you level up to unlock skills, allowing exploration to move in a favorable direction. The pixel animations drawn by TeamLadybug, who has won many praises for pixel art, are also wonderful and should not be missed.

The game was originally scheduled to be released on Nintendo Switch and Steam in August 2024, but in order to further polish the work, after careful consideration, it has been decided to change the release date. The new release date will be announced again when the final appearance of the game can be seen.

game introduction

In this game, you will play the role of "Shen", a demon hunter who has lost his memory. You will explore Osaka, which has become a demon city. By slaying demons, you will regain memories of yourself, your lost wife, and your "skills".

By recalling skills, the "Firefly Sword" can change its form as the holder wishes, allowing Shen to become more powerful and explore a wider world.

Game Story

The time is the near future. Alien monsters and ghosts that came from nowhere are flooding the city. Humans are forced to fight these "demons" that attack. This is the outbreak of the "Demon War". 30 years have passed since then. Humans have been struggling to survive with a religious group, the "Sacred Sacrifice Association", founded by a leader who knows how to fight demons. Monsters that only appear in supernatural stories are rampant in this city, but human civilization continues and grows stronger.

Three years ago, a man named Shen was rescued from the ruins. After losing his memory due to cryopreservation, he soon became an excellent soldier of the Holy Priest Association and took on the responsibility of protecting the people.

However, one day, Shen encountered the gorgeous demon Lux and began to coexist with her, a demon he had a sense of nostalgia for. This would be a betrayal of the iron rule of the Holy Priest Association.

From then on, the "past" began to gradually awaken.

How did this city become like this? The cause and effect began to surface.
