"Nights of Azure 2: Bride of the New Moon" is just a few weeks away. As fans eagerly await its arrival, publisher Koei Tecmo has introduced the game's main characters.
Set in the 19th century, "Nights of Azure 2: Bride of the New Moon" focuses on a knight protector named Alushe Anatoria and her two childhood friends: a kind-hearted priestess, Liliana Selphin; and a holy knight of the Lourdes Order, Ruhenheid Ariarod.
While guarding Liliana, Alushe is killed by a demon and subsequently resurrected as an artificial half-demon. She and Ruhenheid must protect Liliana from becoming a sacrifice to the Queen of the Moon.
"When the evil Moon Queen threatens humanity, the young priestess Liliana is chosen to become the Bride of Time — a sacrifice to save the world," the game's premise reads, as cited by Nintendo Insider. "This causes a disagreement between her two best friends."
Alushe and Ruhenheid will be joined by the Lilies: New Curian doctor, Camilla Alucard; a half-demon assassin, Veruschka; a former Curian Knight, Muveil Folin Lou; and a powerful Nightlord, Arnice.
On top of that, Alushe and Ruhenheid will be backed by the Servans. These include the electrifying mutt, Nero; the fairy-like companion, Feuille; the Shikigami-wielding Kaede; the beautiful butterfly, Farfalla; the shadowy fiend, Hexer; and the dolphin-shaped Perle.
These Servans come in two categories — the Strikers and the Trickers. The first one is known for their strong attacks and ability to transform into weapons, while the second one has the ability to use their powers in the other world as well as expel barricades and open up new pathways.
Koei Tecmo has also laid out everything fans will get if they pre-order "Nights of Azure 2: Bride of the New Moon" on PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch. For only $99.99, players will receive a special swimsuit costume for Alushe and three bonus Servan creatures, according to Siliconera.
"Nights of Azure 2: Bride of the New Moon" is set to be released on Oct. 24 in North America and on Oct. 27 in Europe.
