Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising will be on PC and Xbox Games Pass on day 1

Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising, the spin off action RPG is coming to PC and Xbox Games Pass on day 1, as the game will officially launch on May 10, 2022.
For those unaware, PC Games Pass was just released in select Southeast Asian countries like the Philippines and it’s pretty easy to get yourself subscribed to the service now.
This is the start of the Eiyuden Chronicle world as Rising serves as a prequel of sorts and is connected to the upcoming RPG Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, a game from Suikoden creator Yoshitaka Murayama (Suikoden 1 & 2) and Junko Kawano (Suikoden 1 & IV).
I got to preview the game and try the first two hours of Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising and enjoyed its simplicity found in its gameplay and city building. Though it plays more like an action platformer, fans might get a kick out of this spinoff for the time being as Hundred Heroes is still set to release in 2023.
Here’s a quick summary of Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising from producer 505 Games.
“After a massive earthquake revealed Runebarrows deep below a town on the remote frontier of the Allraan known as New Nevaeh, fortune-seeking adventurers and merchants from across the world arrive. Among those hoping to find treasure, three star-crossed heroes come together. CJ, the Venerable Scavenger, and Garoo, the Beastman Mercenary, hope to mine the Rune Lens, a source of magic hidden underground. Isha, the Young Deputy Mayor, wants to rebuild her town.”
Delve into the ruins and master Rising’s satisfying combat. Dash in quick and strike with CJ’s climbing axes, sling sorcery from afar as Isha, and punish foes with Garoo’s gigantic sword. Topple imaginative bosses by swapping between each character and unleashing devastating Link Attacks combining each hero’s specialty, all while platforming through gorgeous 2.5D environments.
Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising is set to also launch on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC (via Steam, GOG, Epic Games Store).
