Ever had an hour with a game leave you genuinely annoyed that you couldn't keep playing? That's exactly where we landed after going hands-on with Eternal Anima, the latest RPG from Marvelous.
Let's get the obvious out of the way first: this one isn't launching anytime soon. Eternal Anima is currently lined up for 2027, which means we're still a good way out from getting our hands on the full thing. But based on that first hour, the wait might just be worth it.
So what makes an hour so convincing? The preview makes one thing clear — Eternal Anima already seems like it should be firmly on your radar. That's not a small statement for a game that's still years away, especially when so many upcoming RPGs blur together in the early showings.
We won't pretend an hour tells us everything. A single session can't reveal how a full RPG's story, progression, or endgame will hold up over dozens of hours. But first impressions matter, and Eternal Anima apparently made a strong enough one that the only real takeaway was wanting more time with it.
It helps that the name behind it carries weight. Marvelous has a track record in the RPG space, and Eternal Anima looks like another entry worth paying attention to as it develops.
With a 2027 window, there's plenty of road left before launch. That means details will keep rolling out, and we'll be watching closely to see whether that promising first hour grows into something special.
For now, the message is simple: if you're the kind of player who keeps a running list of RPGs to watch, Eternal Anima deserves a spot on it. The early signs are encouraging, and the wait gives you plenty of time to get caught up.
What do you think — does an hour of hands-on time sell you on a game, or do you need to see a lot more before you commit? Will you be keeping an eye on Eternal Anima ahead of its 2027 launch?
