The publisher WhisperGames, with notable title Astlibra Revision under their belts, is releasing another stellar-looking title, this time a strategy RPG. Paraside: Duality Unbound, developed by the American and Chinese team Mistold Games, is a post-apocalyptic tale that splits the world into two different dimensions, which is also key to the gameplay. The game will launch sometime in 2025 for PlayStation 5 and 4, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam.
Check out the announcement trailer below:
Each battle in Paraside: Duality Unbound is described as “a carefully designed puzzle.” Depending on how you use your powers to change dimensions (called Duality Manipulation in the game), interesting developments could occur in both the story and gameplay. The cherry on top is the inclusion of base building, allowing players to upgrade their facilities, develop more battle-defying Duality Arts, and recruit agents from around the world to make you even more powerful.
