What to Expect from the 1.0 Launch
Set in the high-fantasy world of Raoah, the game follows a mysterious child named Hira who stands against ancient gods. Gameplay centers around the Fated Bonds system, which lets players team up with allies featuring distinct combat and traversal abilities. The title combines hand-drawn animation, full voice acting, skill-based combat, and JRPG-inspired storytelling.
The 1.0 release roughly doubles the content available during Early Access. Players can expect 10 additional major interconnected regions, five new main bosses, 19 new optional side bosses, and 11 new Fated Bonds. Progression expands with three additional Ascensions, six new Hunter Skills, four new Elemental Imbuements, and 16 new Mastery Skills spanning Tier III and Tier IV.
According to the developers, the full launch offers 35 to 40 hours of story content, scaling past 80 hours for players targeting full completion. Console releases remain planned for the future, though specific windows have not yet been shared.
