The trailer provides glimpses of both cinematics and gameplay, showcasing a whole new world enveloped in gloomy and gothic darkness. Set in The Land of Shadow, players will be tasked with confronting a myriad of menacing threats as they embark on a journey through this intriguing realm.
The expansion is accompanied by a poetic description that sets the tone for the players’ epic quest.

Miyazaki has described the map as being substantial in size, comparable to the scale of the original game, promising players a similar sense of exploration and discovery.
