Atlus and Vanillaware released lots of information about major Unicorn Overlord characters and gameplay. Six allies and various overworld exploration details came up, as well as information about the setting of Fevrith.
Unicorn Overlord is set on Fevrith. The Empire of Zenoira took over everything, with the Albion, Bastorias, Cornia, Drakenhold, and Elheim under it. Players follow members of the Cornian Liberation Army, led by Prince Alain. Atlus and Vanillaware’s most recent reveal showed off Clive the knight, Chloe the knight, Hodrick the former knight, Travis the spy, Yahna the witch, and a swordswoman named Melisandre. They all act as his allies and assist his cause.
Here’s a gallery showing off all these Unicorn Overlord characters that will join players’ parties.
When someone is journeying through the Unicorn Overlord overworld, there are certain sorts of gameplay elements they’ll encounter. They can happen upon quests, which will send them into battle. If you see a town or fort, you can liberate them from Zenoira. Once that’s done, you can access shops, make the area safer from enemies, and participate in mock battles. However, with forts you do need to raise Renown Rank to access certain Honors and abilities by defeating enemies and restoring towns. You can gather items as you explore, then deliver them to fallen towns to rebuild them so you have garrisons and inns for extra buffs and rewards.
A number of new screenshots also appeared.
Unicorn Overlord will come to the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X on March 8, 2024.
