A fresh look at Fuga: Melodies of Steel 3 is here, and it’s packed with new gameplay systems, gripping story elements, and 19 secret events. CyberConnect2 has dropped a new trailer alongside fresh information and screenshots, giving players a deeper dive into the upcoming tactical RPG sequel.
The Mega Soul Cannon: A Devastating Choice
The Soul Cannon has always been a powerful force in the Fuga series, but this time, it’s taking things to another level. The newly introduced Mega Soul Cannon is capable of obliterating even the toughest foes, enemies that the regular Soul Cannon simply can’t take down.
But there’s a catch.
To activate its devastating potential, every child in the Mega Soul Cannon Chamber must be sacrificed. It’s the ultimate test of morality and strategy. Do you take the risk for absolute destruction, or find another way forward?
Omega Terminal Brings New Upgrades
A new system called the Omega Terminal opens up fresh opportunities for upgrading and customization. By accessing the Taranis’s Memory Archives, players can unlock powerful new features, including:
- Skill Manager: Use VP (a new resource) to unlock Taranis Skills that enhance the tank’s capabilities.
- Chathie’s Shop: Spend VP to purchase rare items that aren’t available in regular stores.
New Ways to Explore and Interact
Beyond the battlefield, Fuga 3 introduces new mechanics that let players engage with the world in unique ways:
- Transmission Waypoints: Characters can send transmission requests, allowing for deeper interactions and character development.
- Power Spots: Special locations with high energy reserves that enable unique Taranis Skills to be activated.
- Balloon Bombs: A pre-battle attack system where players can weaken enemies before engaging them directly.
- Teleportation: Instantly move the Taranis between waypoints, adding a new layer of tactical movement.
Unlock Stunning End Cards for Each Chapter
As players progress through chapters 1 to 11, they’ll be treated to beautifully illustrated end cards drawn by a roster of talented artists. Featured artists include Rikose, Kinoshita Jiroh, HonoboYukotoGaketo, Umani, Akira Himekawa, Kishibe, Koki, Data, Inu8 Edoya, and Hitsuzirobo. These visual rewards add an extra incentive for players to push through the story.
Multiple Endings and Secret Events Await
One of the most exciting features in Fuga 3 is the Akasha Panel, a system that allows players to revisit past events and replay old battles. This system is crucial for unlocking multiple story outcomes, including:
- Normal Ending (Available from the start)
- True Ending (Available from the start)
- Five Different Bad Endings
- Special Ending (Unlocked after completing all endings)
For completionists, 19 secret events are scattered throughout the game, offering deep lore, character insights, and even glimpses into the children’s futures through extra post-story episodes.
Release Date and Platforms
Fans won’t have to wait long to experience these new features. Fuga: Melodies of Steel 3 is set for release on May 29 across multiple platforms, including PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC (via Steam, Epic Games Store, and Microsoft Store).
The latest Battle Systems Trailer showcases many of these new mechanics in action, giving players a taste of what’s to come. With its emotionally charged narrative and expanded tactical options, Fuga 3 is shaping up to be the most ambitious entry in the series yet.
