New Action RPG, Silent Hope, Coming to Nintendo Switch and PC globally on October 3rd
Play as Seven Heroes with Unique Combat and Trade Skills in a World Without Words
London, U.K. — 21 June 2023 — Marvelous Europe in collaboration with Marvelous Inc. and XSEED Games, today announced Silent Hope, a new action RPG title, that will launch October 3rd on the Nintendo Switch™ system and PC via Steam.
Preorders will soon be available for the physical standard edition on Nintendo Switch through the Marvelous Europe website for a suggested retail price of €39.99/£34.99. The digital version will also be available for €39.99/£34.99 on the Nintendo eShop and via Steam.
In a world without words, what hope is there for humanity? Silent Hope takes place in a once-peaceful land, silenced by the former King who stole people’s speech before escaping into the endless chasm known as The Abyss. Following these events, the Princess mourned her father’s actions and wept until she was entombed by her own crystallized tears. Now, years after these events faded from memory, seven heroes find themselves drawn towards the Princess. To break her free from her luminous prison, they must brave the depths of The Abyss to find the long-lost King and reunite the royal family.
Silent Hope harkens back to the glory days of isometric dungeon-crawlers while infusing them with a modern approach. Players will take the role of seven unlikely heroes, each with their own unique weapons, fighting styles, and non-combat jobs. After diving into The Abyss to battle enemies and collect materials, the heroes return to Base Camp to craft, cook, and rest up for their next adventure. Each journey into The Abyss will be a fresh experience, with randomized layouts ensuring every excursion has the element of chance, with even greater dangers lurking the further the heroes dare to venture.
