Maximum Entertainment has announced a partnership with CMD Studios to launch Fallen Tear: The Ascension on consoles in 2027. Developed by CMD Studios, the story-driven Metroidvania will arrive on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2.
Fallen Tear: The Ascension casts players as Hira, a mysterious child fated to stand against ancient gods in the high-fantasy world of Raoah. The game blends the emotional weight and party-building of classic JRPGs with the freeform exploration of a Metroidvania and a touch of souls-like challenge, all set across a hand-drawn, interconnected world on the brink of collapse.
Key Features
- Fated Bonds: Recruit allies to fight and explore alongside you, each lending their own abilities to combat and traversal, and each changing how the world opens up.
- Dynamic Combat: Slash, parry, and dodge through Raoah’s guardians, customizing loadouts through deep skill trees and swapping tactics mid-battle.
- A Hand-Drawn World: Explore a massive, interconnected world brought to life with hand-drawn animation and professional voice acting.
Between expeditions, players build and customize their home base, the Temple of Oras, filling it with recruited allies and earning upgrades through minigames that reflect Hira’s own journey. With 22 potential companions, each carrying their own skills and story, no two paths through Raoah are bonded the same way.
Fallen Tear: The Ascension is available now on PC via Steam and will come to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2 in 2027.
