KOEI TECMO America today revealed details on the diverse characters and demon-ridden world of Nights of Azure 2: Bride of the New Moon alongside a brand new trailer. Headed to Nintendo Switch, the PlayStation 4 computer entertainment system and Windows PC via Steam on October 24, 2017, Nights of Azure 2 explores the strong relationship between childhood friends Aluche, Liliana and Ruenheid, who find themselves tangled in an intricate web of fate.

When the evil Moon Queen threatens humanity, the young priestess Liliana is chosen to become the Bride of Time ? a sacrifice to save the world. This causes a disagreement between her two best friends, and during their altercation Aluche, the protagonist, is killed by a mysterious demon. Aluche is resurrected some time later as a half-demon hybrid and, still struggling to come to terms with her new abilities, sets off to the ruined city of Eurulm, the girls? hometown, to discover Ruenheid battling a swarm of fiends. Reunited, the pair decides to put aside their differences and fight for a joint cause: to save Liliana and defeat the Moon Queen.

On their perilous quest Aluche and Ruenheid are assisted by a unique bouquet of allies, including the mysterious New Curian doctor Camilla Alucard, Aluche?s role model and ex-Curian Knight Muveil Folin Lou, a half-demon assassin named Veruschka, and the powerful Nightlord, Arnice. Fighting alongside these ?Lilies? sows the seeds of unlikely friendships that blossom into unbreakable bonds and awaken impressive latent abilities for all characters.

Human companions are not the only ones to help in the war against the Moon Queen, as Aluche is also able to forge contracts with reliable fiends known asServans. These include her long-time friend Nero, the electrifying mutt Scharf, the fairy-like companion Feuille, the Shikigami-wielding Kaede, the beautiful butterfly Farfalla, the shadowy fiend Hexer, and the dolphin-shaped Perle. These Servans are classed into two categories: Strikers, who are used specifically for their strong attacks and ability to transform into weapons, and Trickers, who can use their powers in the overworld to remove blockades and open up new paths.

To showcase Aluche?s trusted companions and offer a deeper look into the game?s dark and treacherous world, KOEI TECMO America released an all-new trailer alongside a rich selection of new assets, including images of the bonus DLC available to those who pre-order Nights of Azure 2: Bride of the New Moonon both Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 via participating retailers.
