A story trailer for Tails of Iron was released during the Games Radar Future Game show as part of E3. The game, which is being developed by Odd Bug Studio, and is slated to be published by United Label, is promised to be an epic RPG with brutal souls-like combat.
While showing no gameplay, the trailer depicts a Redwall-ish tale about a conflict between a group of medieval armed and armored rats and toads. Impressive-looking hand-drawn 2D art and animation tells the story of how the Rat kingdom finally drove off the Toad armies under the leadership of its King - experiencing an era of peaceful growth.
Time has passed, and the once heroic Rat-King is now aged and the kingdom is again under threat by the Toad menace. It falls to the young Rat-Prince Redgi to drive away from the encroaching Toad armies and to restore the kingdom to its previous glory.
Those watching the trailer may recognize the familiar voice of Doug Cockle (Geralt from The Witcher) who will be the narrator for the final game.
The game is currently available for pre-order and is slated for release sometime later in 2021 and will be available on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam.
