To celebrate the announcement, Hotta has also dropped a brand new trailer. It offers a closer look at Hethereau – the eerie, atmospheric city that acts as the game’s main hub. As the Appraiser, players will explore its supernatural streets with their companions, uncovering hidden stories and getting stuck into a layered narrative.
