Indonesian developer Agate Studio and publisher PQube have announced a brand-new project called Valthirian Arc: Hero School Story, a game where you build and manage a school of heroes.
To celebrate the game's reveal, the pair have also revealed its debut trailer, which showcases not only the management side of things, but some of the RPG gameplay your student heroes will participate in.
The debut trailer gives off some serious My Life As A King vibes, and while it's normally not the type of the game I want to play on a console or PC (I think the genre is best suited for mobile phones), it does have some potential to be interesting no matter what platform. And when you factor in the fact that it's coming to the Switch, my interest levels only rise, because this looks like a great commute game.
Valthirian Arc: Hero School Story is in development for PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC. It is currently slated for release sometime later this year.
Below, you can read more about the game, courtesy of an official overview from PQube:
