Gathering the Hundred Heroes

Whereas it’s a bummer of a delay, 2023 is already fairly stacked with large video games. Two large RPGs are set to reach within the subsequent month or so, with each Baldur’s Gate 3 and Starfield. So getting a bit further area for Eiyuden might be an excellent factor, for each the dev staff and keen RPG followers.
