Cult PS1 SRPG Brigandine Returns to Fill the Fire Emblem Gap 1

If you’re waiting patiently for more information on Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave, then SRPG Brigandine Abyss may be able to keep you occupied in the meantime.

This latest instalment in the ancient PS1 franchise – first released all the way back in 1998 – is getting its global release on 26th August.

Here’s what the press release has to say:

“Brigandine: Abyss is a brand-new entry in the storied franchise, featuring a completely unique world that even unfamiliar players can dive right into. Hundreds of years ago, the Abyssloa Empire was stopped by the power of the arcane Brigandine. Now, a new Abyssloa Empire rises from the ashes, ready to conquer the world. Confront the dark as you manage resources, rally your monsters, and stand against the empire in one of six different story campaigns.

For a more classic Brigandine experience, turn to Mission Mode, which lets you take the role of one of 24 different factions, each with their own win conditions! Whether you want to challenge your tactical acumen or take it easy, you’ll find hundreds of hours of fun in Brigandine: Abyss!”

If you can’t wait until 26th August for this new game, it’s worth noting that series reboot Brigandine: The Legend of Runersia released a few years ago, and should scratch a similar SRPG itch.

Meanwhile, pre-orders for Brigandine Abyss are open on the PS Store right now, with a 10% discount for all PS Plus subscribers.
