'Black Clover: Quartet Knights' Release Date: New Footage, First Plot Details Revealed
Bandai Namco Entertainment has treated fans with new footage from its upcoming game, "Black Clover: Quartet Knights," formerly known as "Black Clover: Project Knights."
The title is described as a four-versus-four magic third-person shooter action game in which players get to explore "highly strategic maps," use "character-unique magic" and cooperative techniques with their fellow knights.
A short first-look footage for "Black Clover: Quartet Knights" was shown at the Jump Festa 2018 event teasing, per Gematsu, "a certain world where magic is everything" and where players are "to prove their power."
The teaser also promises that "a new story will also set in motion" where "the knights will rise" and that the strongest knight will decide."
First announced early this month, "Black Clover: Quartet Knights" will be based on the hit "Black Clover" manga and anime by Yuki Tabata.
It was only two years ago when the manga debuted, but it did not take long for the series to enjoy greater success. It recently got picked up for an anime adaptation, which premiered just last October. A new episode is airing every week.
Set in a world where magical abilities are a norm, "Black Clover" follows orphans Asta and Yuno, who were abandoned at a church orphanage of the Clover Kingdom at the same time.
While their fates seem to be intertwined, they are very different in the sense that Asta has no magical power while Yuno has so much of it that warranted his receipt of the wind-based grimoire held by the kingdom's first Wizard King. The former, however, discovers that he has something else — the Anti-Magic, which cancels out magical effects.
"Black Clover: Quartet Knights" will be released on the PlayStation 4 (PS4) in Japan next year while the rest of the world get it in both the PS4 and PC. Watch the trailer below at the 38:02 mark.
