This marks the first time that the game will be heading to Germany for the debut of a trailer. Luna Abyss is a narrative-driven game, so the characters and world are just as important as the gameplay. As such, the game looks like it will have well-crafted lore as well as fun, High-Octane Combat. The new trailer focuses on the new characters ‘Aylin’ and ‘Fawkes’.

As you step outside your cell, Aylin, the governor of the Blood Moon Penal Colony, will guide you through the foreboding world of Luna Abyss. Her goal is to help and support the Scouts under her care by taking instructions from the mysterious All-Father. But due to her lack of understanding of the human mind, she sometimes makes questionable decisions. It sounds like their may be more than meets the eye with Aylin, but we’ll have to wait and see what her real intentions may be.
