The elite Blue Fox mercenaries will leave their mark on history
The DioField Chronicle is set in a beautiful and unique world blending fantasy, medieval and modern-day influences. Under the steady hand of the Shaytham dynasty, the Kingdom of Alletain on DioField Island has known peace for 200 years, but suddenly find themselves cast into an age of uncertainty due to the rise of warlike powers and modern magic.
The Kingdom of Alletain is rich in the mineral Jade, prized for its use as a base ingredient in magic and sorcery, and the attention of both the Empire and the Alliance inevitably turns towards the island. Players will take control of a band of elite mercenaries calling themselves ‘Blue Fox’:
Fredret – possessed with great strength and a desire to right the course of the nation
Iscarion – a progressive thinker with a warm and virtuous heart
Waltaquin – a powerful magic user with an equally potent charisma
Andrias – the brains of the company who is always planning one step ahead
Will the name ‘Blue Fox’ come to signify hope or darkest tragedy? Find out when DioField Chronicle releases on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and STEAM later this year.
