It’s the brand new yr, and there’s a bevy of recent video games on the best way. Certainly one of them, Unicorn Overlord, sees Vanillaware tackling fantasy ways. And the little slice of music that’s been shared, in 16-bit kind, actually units the tone.

Atlus has shared a roughly four-minute preview of picks from the 16-bit organized music album for the upcoming Unicorn Overlord. Per the outline, this album takes the music of Unicorn Overlord and rearranges it into 16-bit kind for the sport’s Monarch Version (a.okay.a. collector’s version).

Who higher, then, to remix some ways nostalgia than Basiscape? The studio labored with Vanillaware on 2020’s glorious 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim, and it’s based by Last Fantasy Ways and Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen composer Hitoshi Sakimoto. A really becoming collaboration, I’d say.

You may get a short clip of a number of tracks within the preview above, although the album itself can be a part of the Monarch Version of Unicorn Overlord. Just a few different goodies are additionally getting packed into the CE, together with an artbook and full-on card recreation of Unicorn Overlord.

A brand-new Overlord

A part of me needed to put in writing this up due to the attention-grabbing legacy ties right here, between prior hits and Vanillaware’s method to the fantasy ways style. However, truthfully, one other a part of me simply needed to put in writing about Unicorn Overlord.

If it weren’t for the likes of Metaphor, UO would most likely be my most anticipated recreation of this yr. But it surely’s undoubtedly one which I believe will shock folks. In any case, that’s what occurred with 13 Sentinels, and Vanillaware has been steadily ramping up with every new recreation.

We’ve seen fight, overworld technique, and even romance all inside the world that Vanillaware’s been crafting. Ways Ogre: Reborn whet my urge for food for some basic, grim ways, and Frieren has me longing for a mature fantasy story. Might Unicorn Overlord be that? We’ll discover out on March 8, 2024 when it arrives for PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox Sequence X|S, and Change.
