The new trailer largely focuses on the mysterious D.U.M.A., which is described as an “unusual creation imbued with superior intelligence and self-cognizance” that appears as a robotic machine. That said, it considers itself a lifeform like any other. After an escape pod from the spaceship Ydas carrying D.U.M.A. is opened, it works with the party to grant them incredible abilities like flight and more.
Additionally, D.U.M.A. can scan for treasure chests and other interactable objects, allow characters to unleash devastating attacks on enemies, and more. Each playable character has their own unique abilities granted by D.U.M.A. as well, and a goodly portion of combat appears to be about figuring out how best to chain all of these together.ย
