About

This action RPG mixes open-world exploration with resource management and tactical combat against massive mechanical creatures. You upgrade gear collectibles hunt for resources and figure out the mystery behind a spreading environmental collapse.

The Special Edition bundles the full game with physical extras like a steelbook case and printed art guide plus the full soundtrack. It runs natively on both PS4 and PS5 with performance upgrades on the newer hardware.
