The launch of Blade Chimera was originally planned for spring 2024, but to refine the game and improve its quality, the release date was pushed back to August 2024. The game is packed with story and gameplay content, and the game's signature pixel art Team Ladybug is being improved. We are very sorry for the delay, but we hope that the Blade Chimera improved is of high quality and can entertain a wide audience.

The newly released trailer shows off lots of new boss battles and gimmicks, all carefully designed by Team Ladybug. We're going to offer a sneak peek into the game world… but so that more players can experience the game, Blade Chimera will join the Steam Next Fest in June (next month!) with a public demo. Also play the demo when it is released!

Play as Shin, a demon hunter who has lost his memories and sets out to explore the world with his sword – the demon Lumina transformed into Lux – which collects memories about you, your missing wife and skills you forgot.

Whenever you recover a lost ability, Lux changes form according to its wielder's will and makes Shin stronger and gives access to more areas of the world.

History

The game takes place in the near future, where deformed monsters and ghouls appeared out of nowhere, invaded cities and forced humans to fight against these creatures they called “demons” in a Demon War. After 30 years of merciless war, the surviving humans joined the Mass Association, a religious group formed by a leader who knows the secret to fighting demons. Cities and civilizations continue to thrive despite regular sightings of bizarre monsters.

Three years ago, a man known as Shin was rescued from the rubble in a state of cryopreservation. With no memory of his past, he quickly becomes one of the association's best warriors and protectors.

However, when Shin comes across the beautiful and brilliant demon Lux, a name that seems strangely familiar to him. This feeling of deja vu leads him to welcome her, even if it means going against the association's creeds.

From that moment on, the past begins to slowly unfold and reveals the events that led the city to assume its current form…”
