As you might expect, Lost Hellden follows a unique protagonist who falls outside of the usual order of things. Cyphel isn’t able to be bound to any of the seven sins, while his twin brother Leht is mysteriously tied to all seven during the ritual. The game opens with Cyphel joining forces with two religious Arkhons - those responsible for maintaining the status quo - Gram and Enki, to track down Leht after he leaves the capital city of Avilah: a major no-no in the eyes of the religious order.
Helping bring the world of Era to life will be the music and audio direction of Hitoshi Sakimoto, who has an impressive list of credits including Final Fantasy XII,Tactics Ogre,Final Fantasy Tactics, 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim,Valkyria Chroniclesand more.

Gameplay, meanwhile, will apparently mix together strategy and action in its battle system, with all eight characters having what’s promised to be a high level of customisation. Snatches of combat seen in the trailer show what looks like real-time actions - with buttons for attacking, extra actions such as spells and the ability to guard or evade - with the ability to optionally ‘focus’, which may well swap things to a more turn-based feel as glimpsed in onscreen text for a ‘Battle Phase’.
Lost Hellden is planned for a release onSteam, GOG and Epic Games Store in 2025, with a demo due to drop later this year.
