Completely Free PS5, PS4 RPG Features Unknown Heroes from Other Games 1

This is quite possibly one of the most unusual projects we’ve reported on in a while: Electric Airship and Critical Games are making a throwback turn-based RPG featuring lesser-known heroes from other games named Infinite Alliance.

So, that means you’ll be adding the likes of Glenn from Chained Echoes and the unnamed character from 8-Bit Adventures 2 to your party. It’s basically a union of indie JRPG-style protagonists, all under one roof.

But here’s the other interesting wrinkle: the game’s free. And not free in the sense that this is a new gacha game like Genshin Impact – it’s actually completely free-to-play. While there will be optional in-game purchases, the publisher says it’s going to donate any money it makes to charity.

“Engage in stylish turn-based battles with a party of nine unique heroes, and encounter familiar friends, foes, and environments re-imagined,” the blurb reads.

“Infinite Alliance showcases the creative variety of the independent JRPG scene, and we hope you’ll discover your next favourite game through this epic free adventure.”

Here’s the full roster of characters announced thus far:

Heroes

  • Glenn from Chained Echoes
  • The Warrior (named by the player) from 8-Bit Adventures 2
  • Noa from Jack Move
  • Whoopis from My Familiar
  • Vera and Arin from Eternal Remnant
  • Alexandra from Quartet
  • Rio from Shrine’s Legacy
  • Dustin from Kingdoms of the Dump
  • Chel from For a Vast Future
  • Gio from Geo Mythica

Villains

  • Drago from Beloved Rapture
  • Montam from Venaitura
  • The Fateshifter from Ephemeral Tale
  • Qliphoth—an original villain
  • And more to be announced

The game’s not due out until 2026, so you’re going to have to sit tight a little while before you get the chance to play this one. The battle system in the trailer looks pretty neat, though.
