Explore Avaris as Eline, battling Corrosion mutants and rallying allies in Edge of Memories. This rich RPG from Midgar Studio immerses you in the struggle against an escalating threat.
About this game
The Corrosion, a plague of unparalleled proportions, has already ravaged the Astryan continent. On the other side of the world, the continent of Avaris and its nomadic peoples—so far spared from the horrors spawned by this abomination—now stand on the brink of extinction. Eline, an itinerant Soul Whisperer, relentlessly battles the force that turns the once-thriving fauna, flora and humans of this lush land into grotesque abominations. Following a mysterious encounter, a dark power awakens within her, one that may hold the key to ending this apocalypse: the ability to control the Corrosion within her own body.
But saving a world already doomed is no easy task. With the help of Ysoris, her unlikely mentor, and Kanta, shaman prince of a lost tribe, Eline must overcome the formidable adversaries standing in her way.
Engage in fierce battles against relentless enemies alongside your allies, and unleash your devastating powers to wipe them out!
- String together spectacular combos by alternating between rapid strikes and devastating techniques to dominate your opponents.
- Your allies are the key to victory. Customise your companions, and use their skills wisely to inflict more damage at crucial moments.
- Let rage consume you and transform into a Berserker to deliver earth-shattering blows, which turn into a series of merciless executions.
Avaris, a land of many faces, is as scarred as the rest of Heryon. From the idyllic sandy shores of the port city of Sarlah-Durah to the snow-capped peaks of the Kezal Mountains, every landscape bears the marks of the Corrosion’s abominations.
- Explore the continent of Avaris in the grip of the Corrosion – Discover rich environments with vibrant colours, and observe the scourge ravaging these enchanting landscapes. As you progress through the story, the game transforms places you have previously travelled through and creates strange new paths to take.
- Ride a Nekaroo – Traverse the vast lands of Avaris atop this loyal feline companion and take advantage of its agility to access unreachable areas.
- Enjoy stunning visuals inspired by Japanese animation – Discover or rediscover the breathtaking world of Heryon through Avaris, a colourful and radiant continent brought to life with Unreal Engine 5.
- A gripping epic with no fillers – Experience an original narrative where every quest matters, adding new depth to the story, the characters or their relationships.
- Dive into an emotional journey – Travel across a continent inhabited by nomadic civilizations forced to migrate to escape the Corrosion, and connect with those who have chosen to await death while celebrating life.
Whether you are exploring the vast expanses of the continent of Avaris or battling relentless Corroded foes, enjoy a dynamic and adaptive soundtrack composed by Cédric Menendez. Carried by the enchanting voice of Emi Evans, known for her work on NieR:Automata™, your journey culminates with a final theme composed by Yasunori Mitsuda, famed for his work on games such as Chrono Trigger®, Xenoblade Chronicles™ and Sea of Stars.

Edge of Memories releases November 5th!
Oh? You made it past the title! Hello, nice to have you here! It's been a little while since our last update, but we're back with a big one. Edge of Memories is releasing on November 5th!Yeah, OK, you got that from the title. But what can you expect in a little over 2 months? Since the demo at Steam Next Fest, we've been hard at work refining the core gameplay experience, squashing bugs, and implementing your feedback and other quality-of-life features into the launch build.For some things, it was about adding features you'd expect (motion blur toggles, option to disable subtitles, etc.) For others, it was about tweaking the numbers based on your feedback. A few things have changed due to the process of ongoing development.Pre-orders are open... sorta! We won't have pre-orders on PC, but for a period after launch, anyone who purchases on PC will receive the Legacy Costume Pack. This costume pack includes a callback to Edge of Eternity with the Legacy Costume Pack for both Ysoris and the Nekaroo.To stay in the loop on all things Edge of Memories, make sure we're on your wishlist!Read full article on Community Announcements (Nacon)AnnouncementsOfficial
Edge of Memories demo extension and what's next!
Hello everyone! Thank you all for making time to check out Edge of Memories, download our demo and take your first steps into Avaris.For those who managed to play the demo, we hope that you could feel our progression as a studio. Edge of Memories is a follow up to our previous project, Edge of Eternity, but we switched engines, moving from Unity to Unreal, and overhauling the visual style (including redesigning some returning characters). We also created an entirely new combat system, looking to challenge ourselves as developers to create a combat system that relies on perfect dodges and chaining combos. The demo was the perfect moment to show off what we've been working on. It is also, a good chance for us to reflect on what still needs to be done in the final months before launch. There's been a lot of feedback, some of these are quality of life features that we'd like to look into a little more (things like subtitles, motion blur, etc.) or small bugs (like the sand texture issue), but there are others that we'd like to address.Combat Feel A lot of this relates to how enemies react to combat, as well as the balancing between enemy HP bars and the damage that Eline is doing. There's definitely a spike when doing combos, but we want to do another pass on this (particularly the crab enemies). Cutscene Lip Sync We know that some of the cutscenes still lack lip movements for the characters. This is a side effect of slowly expanding the scope during development. Originally, these were portrait conversations (which we still do use in parts of the game - see below) that we expanded the scope of and turned into in-game cutscenes. The animations for some of these aren't finalised, which is why you in the demo build, Eline and Ysoris are doing their best ventriloquist impressions.Performance Issues We're currently working on the console versions of Edge of Memories. As part of this, the demo build isn't perfectly optimised. We've still got work to do on this front, and are w...Read full article on Community Announcements (Nacon)Community & EventsOfficial
