Publisher Idea Factory International has announced that it will be bringing action platformer Ariana and the Elder Codex to the West sometime next year. It will launch digitally and physically for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch. In the game, Ariana must safely repair altered Codices and unravel the mysteries hidden within the library.
The Seven Hero Codices have been altered, and Ariana the Librarian must repair them. Due to the damage, magic has vanished from the world. Her special Library Magic allows her to enter the Codices, where she attempts to mend the books so she can return magic to the world.. Only with the safe repair of each tome will the mysteries within the Library be unravelled, and magic will return.
The game’s key features, from IFI, include:
- Restore the books, reclaim the magic — Venture into the Seven Hero Codices as Ariana, defeating enemies to earn new Magic Spells and Skills that grant access to previously unreachable areas. Restore Repair Points by taking on platforming and combat challenges that put your abilities to the test. Clear Repair Points as quickly as possible for permanent HP boosts and more!
- Librarian Magic materializes — With 30+ unlockable Magic Spells and Skills, mix and match abilities across six slots as you embark on your journey to repair the altered Codices. Experiment with different combinations to discover what best suits your playstyle.
- Clash with the guardians of the altered Codices — Face formidable bosses, each with a devastating arsenal that will test your combat and platforming skills. Dodge spells, time your attacks, and stay on top of your health to prevail.
- Harness the power of Magic Items — Mitigate challenges by unlocking, crafting, and equipping Magic Items to boost stats and gain buffs such as elemental boosts, increased critical hits, reduced knockback, and more!
