Developer CyberConnect2 has officially revealed a new battle systems trailer for Fuga: Melodies of Steel 3, packed with details on gripping new mechanics, story elements, and a firm release date. The upcoming tactical RPG sequel is set to launch on May 29 for all major platforms, promising the most ambitious and emotionally charged entry in the trilogy yet. Fans can now get a deeper look at the tough choices and expanded strategies that await.
A Heartbreaking Choice with the Mega Soul Cannon
The Fuga series is known for its high-stakes Soul Cannon, but the third installment introduces an even more terrifying weapon. The Mega Soul Cannon is a new system capable of destroying the most powerful enemies that even the standard Soul Cannon cannot handle.
However, this immense power comes at the ultimate price. To fire this weapon, every child currently in the Mega Soul Cannon Chamber must be sacrificed. This feature forces players into an impossible moral quandary, weighing absolute victory against an unthinkable loss.
This decision is not just a story beat but a core strategic element that will define a player’s journey through the game.
New Gameplay Systems Expand Your Strategy
Fuga 3 is not just about difficult choices; it also introduces several new systems to give players more control over their tank, the Taranis, and their approach to battles. A key addition is the Omega Terminal, which unlocks new upgrades and items by accessing the Taranis’s Memory Archives.
Players can now use a new resource called VP to unlock powerful enhancements and items. Key features introduced include:
- Skill Manager: Use VP to learn new Taranis Skills that improve the tank’s performance in battle.
- Chathie’s Shop: Spend VP to get rare items that you can’t find anywhere else.
- Balloon Bombs: A new pre-battle system that lets you weaken enemy formations before the fight even begins.
- Teleportation: Instantly move the Taranis between previously visited waypoints for greater tactical flexibility on the world map.
Other additions like Transmission Waypoints and Power Spots will provide deeper character interactions and unlock unique abilities, adding more layers to exploration and combat.
Deeper Story and Replayability
CyberConnect2 is placing a heavy emphasis on narrative and replay value in Fuga 3. A new system called the Akasha Panel allows players to revisit past events and re-challenge old battles. This is essential for unlocking the game’s multiple endings.
The game will feature a total of eight different outcomes, including a normal ending, a true ending, five bad endings, and a special ending unlocked only after seeing all others. For players who love to uncover every secret, the game also includes 19 hidden events that reveal more about the world’s lore and the children’s futures.
