Accompanied by Lou MagMell, a Revenant girl who revives the protagonist with her own heart and wields the power to travel through time, the Revenant Hunter embarks on a mission to rewrite history and save the world. The trailer also highlights the powerful bonds between Revenants, introduces new characters and voice performances, and features a powerful original score composed by Go Shiina, unveiling a dramatic story shaped by fate, sacrifice, and choice.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Bandai Namco is saying this game will have a huge focus on plot, where \u201cplayers and characters are bound by blood, fate, and destiny, set in a future where the last remnants of humanity and Revenants struggle against a world on the verge of collapse\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this big emphasis on story, you\u2019ll be able to create your own character \u201cwith a vast array of settings for body type, hairstyle, facial expressions, accessories, makeup, and more\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>We haven\u2019t had a chance to go hands-on with this one just yet, but its release date is slated for 30th January, and we have a sneaking suspicion it\u2019s going to be quietly very popular.<\/p>\n<p>Is this title on your wishlist at all?
