Meridiem has officially announced that it will release a physical edition of AWAKEN - Astral Blade, the highly anticipated action role-playing game developed by Dark Pigeon Games and digitally published by ESDigital Games. The physical edition is scheduled for release in autumn 2024 and will be available through specialist retailers across Europe exclusively for PlayStation 5.

Meridiem will oversee the design and manufacturing of the Tania's Edition of AWAKEN - Astral Blade, which will include a specially designed slipcase, a printed lore book revealing the backstory of Tania and the mysterious Eternity civilization, a digital soundtrack, and a sticker featuring the Fatal Boss. PlayStation fans who purchase this edition will also receive access to post-release DLC content and additional outfits for Tania, including an exclusive PlayStation outfit.

Set in a dark, 2D side-scrolling fantasy world, AWAKEN - Astral Blade invites players to weave their own story as Tania, a bionically enhanced protagonist on a mission to uncover the truth behind a missing Investigation Force on the Horace Islands. Players will navigate a world tainted by Karpas energy, which has mutated the local flora and fauna into deadly anathemorphs. As Tania delves deeper into the forests, she uncovers ancient secrets tied to the long-lost Eternity civilization, the source of the Karpas energy, and ultimately, the truth of her own origins and destiny.

AWAKEN - Astral Blade promises dynamic combat, offering a range of combos, parrying mechanics, and the ability to slow down time to gain an advantage over enemies. Players will also have the opportunity to make crucial decisions that affect the course of the story, leading to multiple possible endings. The game encourages exploration and strategy, with a variety of skills, weapon upgrades, and ether-based abilities at the player's disposal.

The Tania's Edition of AWAKEN - Astral Blade is expected to be a sought-after release for PlayStation 5 owners, providing not only a rich gaming experience but also a collector's package filled with exclusive content.
