Core Features

Gamers control magic-wielders driven by various roles, including tanks or assistants, and strategically build a collection of abilities from more than fifty magical skills.

Mages can also fly freely in the play area, adding a movement aspect uncommon in the style.

Spellcasters Chronicles reflects the creative spirit and advanced goals that have guided Quantic Dream for decades. We sought to create a innovative style of player journey that combines action and strategy, while exploring community-driven narrative. It has been an exploration of innovative thoughts, a opportunity to venture into online and cooperative play, and an adventure undertaken by a new talented team of professionals within our offices in our global branches who developed this innovative setting.

Story Elements

Although details remain unclear, the concept of a collective community narrative is fascinating, with the game director describing it as a "shared, living world." As stated, the game will include both a "core-loop"—multiplayer battles—and a "macro-loop," which forms the collaborative tale.

The studio recognizes that this upcoming release might generate discussion, with key figures commenting, "Spellcasters Chronicles may surprise our followers as it is significantly altered from what we have produced in the past. But trying new things, pushing our limits, investigating innovative methods of gaming and narrative, and aiming for what seems impossible has consistently been part of our DNA."

What's Next

Developers behind this project will provide a more in-depth look during an upcoming gaming event, with actual play sessions and a question and answer planned for specific times. A exclusive trial for the game is expected to launch on PC platforms by the close of the year, and potential participants can sign up through the official website.
