Japanese publisher Acquire has announced its next self-published title - Ancient Weapon Holly. This dungeon-crawler is set to release on the PlayStation 5 and Steam in 2024
The game centers around Holly, an autonomous ancient weapon that humanity has imprisoned. Her immense power could destroy earth and her gaze alone can kill. Feared by humans, she was sealed underground for 10,000 years. In her quest for freedom, she vows to eliminate humanity.
We believe a powerful, autonomous weapon in the form of a human-hating young girl offers a completely fresh approach to dungeon-crawlers that action gamers will enjoy
, said Takuma Endo, president and CEO of ACQUIRE Corp.
Ancient Weapon Holly promises a new spin on the dungeon-crawling genre through its combination of action and strategy.
A hands-on demo will be available at PAX West and Tokyo Game Show.
