Snackgirls editor note
Red: What I like is that this is not just a date reminder. It also neatly restates what kind of rhythm this action RPG has.
Kirari: The flow of moving through four different eras is easy to grasp, so this feels like the kind of game where you can quickly decide whether to start today or watch footage first.
The reason this game becomes a new release to check today is that its structure is clear. Based on the official guidance, Elliot is not a linear action RPG that stays in one era. It is presented as a game that crosses four eras in sequence while changing the tempo of combat and exploration.
With fairy-assisted combat flow and 1–2 player information included as well, it is now possible to think right away about whether to take it slowly solo or experience it with a friend. For launch-day information, that is fairly helpful.
The play feel that stands out right away
Looking at the official screenshots and description, this title puts HD-2D visuals up front, while the combat feel appears to lean toward a more active style. In other words, if you only frame it as a “pixel-style RPG,” it is easy to miss the tone. It is better to treat it as a new release with a fairly clear action focus.

That makes the point of interest today less about the story and more about how it feels in hand. How much the era changes actually shift the play rhythm, and how much the fairy companion affects support play, are likely to shape early impressions.
What decides whether to play now or wait
For anyone jumping in right away, the things to check today are clear. First, the launch date is set for June 18. Second, the 1–2 player setup has been revealed. Third, you can compare whether to get just the main game or go as far as the Digital Deluxe edition by looking at the store lineup after launch.

In other words, this game is less a “maybe someday” title and more a new release with enough information laid out for you to judge directly whether it is worth starting today. If you follow the PS5 action RPG lineup, there is enough reason to check it now.
