Throughout this title, players will experience a scaling difficulty system that heightens in challenge as the player grows and earns new skills. Additionally, while there is a linear narrative, exploration is the complete opposite, with there being 16 interconnected zones. Speed and mobility are central to the overall experience as they encourage precision with platforming and general movement.

The soundtrack includes 46 songs, with a special original soundtrack releasing once the game is out, including arrangments as a piano collection. In addition, the art style was meticulously crafted using traditional artistic methods to produce a vibrant, immersive world. The effort for the artwork certainly shows and is undeniably an engaging series of spectacles.

Aeterna Noctis is releasing for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store on December 15, 2021.
