Arc the Lad: End of Darkness takes place five years after, yet in the same world as
Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits. Players take the role of Edda, a young man whose youth is marked by a ?boring island life.? His serenity is shattered, however, when he meets Kirika, a rude, young woman, on the beach. Shortly after, Edda tries to help a hunter capture vicious criminals, but the latter gets killed. Edda notices Kirika standing nearby, and his suspicions begin to grow about the mysterious young woman. Edda, who has awakened as a full-fledged exorcist, becomes a hunter himself. Realizing a sense of responsibility to save the weakened world, he sets out on a remarkable journey that will ultimately pit civilization against nature.
?We are excited to be able to bring the long-running Arc the Lad series back to game fans in this newest installment,? said Jeff Lujan, Business Director at Namco Hometek Inc. ?With new features such as real-time action and the return of original characters from the series, this next episode is sure to be a hit with RPG fans everywhere.?
