Continuing a collaborative environment that has spanned many major games over the years, ATLUS and Vanillaware have jointly confirmed they are uniting again for a new tactical fantasy RPG game by the name Unicorn Overlord. It is in active development for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, and is set to launch on 8 March 2024.
Unicorn Overlord sets out to combine “overworld exploration and an innovative battle system in the iconic Vanillaware style”, with players tasked with travelling the game’s world, cultivating a grand army with over 60 unique characters, and grow their renown throughout the game’s five nations.
While more information will undoubtedly be unveiled over the coming months, what we do know about are the different editions of the game available. In addition to the typical Standard Edition, a Collector’s Edition will also be available at an increased price. In addition to a physical copy of Unicorn Overlord, this Collector’s Edition also includes: a Premium Edition Box, 16-bit BGM Soundtrack CD (two discs with ten tracks on each), a 132-page artbook and an original card game featuring 239 cards, tokens and markers.
This is all in addition to the ATLUS X Vanillaware Heraldry Pack, a pre-order DLC, which lets you customize the Liberation Army’s flag with emblem designs from Odin Sphere, Dragon’s Crown and 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim.
