Square Enix London Studios Release The First Heroes Of Ruin Trailer

There’s nothing more exciting in the world of games industry news than a new trailer, even more so when that new trailer is the first look we’ve had into the world of a brand new game world. That’s exactly what we’re getting today with a brand new trailer from Square Enix London Studios of their upcoming Nintendo 3DS title Heroes of Ruin.

War raged for over a hundred years until strong, powerful Lords emerged from the fighting to bring a fragile peace to the land. This peace is threatened when one of the Lords, Ataraxis, ruler of the city of Nexus, is taken ill by a deadly curse. A call is sent out, promising rewards beyond measure for anyone who finds a cure.

Four mercenaries, each with their own strengths, weaknesses and motivations answer the call. One uses forbidden spells to rain death on her foes, one has guns and bombs to blast his way through, another has a mighty sword capable of slicing through entire packs of enemies, and one other gains strength from savagely tearing through anything that stands in his way with brutal, bladed fists.

These unlikely heroes can choose to create a fearsome alliance or venture forth from the city alone. Beyond the safety of the city the land is filled with strange and dangerous creatures, but none as deadly as the evil force behind the curse, which the heroes must eventually confront and destroy.

Heroes of Ruin is due to be released on the Nintendo 3DS in the first quarter of 2012. As soon as we know a firm release date, so will you.
