Mech SRPG ‘Relayer’ to Receive Western Release Simultaneously With Japan in March 2022 on PS4 and PS5

Clouded Leopard Entertainment and Kadokawa Games announced that their simulation RPG Relayer coming to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 on March 24, 2022.

The game has received a slight delay in Japan to make this simultaneous release possible in Asian regions, Europe, and North America.

There will be a digital Premium Edition available that includes the full game and various bonus DLC to be revealed at a later date. Pre-orders will open on January 25, 2022.

Relayer takes place in the year 2049 where mankind has just met intelligent life: the Relayers. Further, they have also discovered an ancient civilization known as the Starchildren, who have granted humans unique powers. Fast forward to 2051; two young women cross paths in the colony of Artemis located on the surface of the Moon. This is where the adventure begins.

Relayer will take players across the Milky Way. Humanity’s existence is threatened by what is known as Relayers, but we have a way of fighting back, the Starchildren.

During gameplay, players will lead troops to battle during turn-based missions. By controlling mech units, players have 4 different types of spacecraft Starchildren at the control, Assualt, Sniper, Tank, and Scout.

Each type’s attack range and weaponry vary, so players will be required to position themselves according to the unique battle situation. Players can also employ various combat strategies, such as using “hate” to draw the enemy’s attention, allowing certain allies to act as decoys, and calling upon allies to push the enemy back.
