Atlus and Vanillaware’s latest Unicorn Overlord gameplay trailer focuses on going over how liberating regions by exploring them will work. It’s framed as an information lecture by former Kingdom of Cornia Holy Knight Josef for former Cornian Prince Alain.
The main focus is overworld exploration with the Liberation Army. During the game, players will go to different areas in Fevrith, dealing with enemies, improving their army, and preparing to face the Empire of Zenoira. Quests involve helping people in the area to gradually liberate it and take part in battle stages for rewards. There will also be Settlements that can be freed by taking part in battles. When you do this, you can then gain the help of those people and visit their stores. It’s also possible to invest in the towns and forts to improve them.
Here’s the “Josef’s Guide to Exploration” Unicorn Overlord trailer showing off gameplay and what it’s like to explore and liberate regions.
We’ve seen lots of Unicorn Overlord screenshots ahead of the game’s debut too. Some of them showed off the different allies we’ll encounter, as well as story segments and fights with them. Others went over the relationship-building elements, as players will build up a rapport with the members of their army and see how working together will improve different people’s performance.
Unicorn Overlord will come to the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X on March 8, 2024.
