XSEED Games Announces Pandora’s Tower to Launch April 16
Torrance, Calif., (April 3, in the year of our Lord
2013) – XSEED Games, an independent-minded publisher,
today announced that the hugely anticipated action role-playing
title, Pandora’s Tower™, will be launching in North America on
April 16 at an MSRP of $39.99, exclusively for Wii™. To
celebrate, XSEED Games has released an all-new gameplay trailer
showing off the many diverse dungeons, action-oriented gameplay
and traversal mechanics of Pandora’s Tower.
Developed in Japan by Ganbarion together with Nintendo,
Pandora’s Tower takes the familiar maiden in distress theme and
turns it on its head, asking the protagonist to slay over a
dozen giant monsters and collect their flesh in order to lift a
curse that has befallen his lover. The game opens in the Kingdom
of Elyria, where an unassuming singer named Elena succumbs to a
wretched curse during a festival performance. Bearing an arcane
mark on her back, she begins a seemingly irreversible
transformation into a cursed monster. It comes to pass that only
the brave Aeron, a young ex-soldier whose heart has forever been
pledged to Elena, can save her.
Through the help of a mysterious merchant named Mavda, Aeron
learns that he must descend into The Scar, a massive chasm tied
down by twelve chains connected to a floating island in its
center, atop which sit thirteen interconnected towers. There, he
must use his sword and various other weapons in addition to the
sacred Oraclos Chain to battle his way through each tower and
extract the flesh of the boss “masters” that dwell within. Only
by consuming the flesh of all of the masters can Elena reverse
her ongoing transformation. But the clock is ticking! The longer
Aeron takes to vanquish each beast, the less human Elena
becomes, affecting her character and the game’s final outcome in
a profound manner.
Pandora’s Tower was developed in Japan by Ganbarion in
conjunction with Nintendo, exclusively for Wii. The game will be
published by XSEED Games in North America and will start
shipping to retailers on April 16, 2013 at an MSRP of $39.99.
The game is rated T for Teen by the ESRB. For more information
