Studio Sanctuary Games Unveils Zanerdin: The Unbound
Newly formed South Korean developer Sanctuary Games announces its debut project today for eager RPG fans. Zanerdin The Unbound is a collectible turn-based RPG coming to PC and PS5 platforms. The game features 60 unique battle stages with hand-drawn narrative cutscenes throughout the experience. Gacha mechanics are included without any microtransactions in the base game purchase. All collectible characters, pets, and gear are earned through normal gameplay progression only. Players explore the fantastical world of Kalatos, protected by six elemental Blessings. The Chaos region houses those born without powers, including the protagonist Zanerdin himself. Your journey leads into the Blessed lands to discover the truth about your family. The studio focuses on creating engaging, player-friendly experiences without predatory monetization schemes. CEO Hyunduk You believes the narrative shouldn’t be indie-sized just because the team is small.
Strategic Battles Without Paywalls or Microtransactions
Over 25 playable characters harness special abilities based on their elemental Blessing type. The Theme and Synergy systems add tactical depth to team building and combat encounters. Players collect characters through linear progression and free map exploration opportunities. Boss Raids, Abyss Boss Raids, and hidden Raids provide endgame challenges for veterans.
Ten distinctive pets and tactical formations enhance battle strategies significantly during fights. Gacha materials and currency unlock through gameplay, never through purchases or payments. The studio believes gacha gameplay can exist and be enjoyable without microtransactions involved. Each character’s elemental Blessing defines their personal strength and social standing in Kalatos.
Endgame Content and Future Expansions Planned
Endgame content includes a 5v5 tournament against AI-controlled opponents for special rewards. A post-game “Hardcore” battle stage unlocks for champion players who excel at combat. New story content and additional characters will arrive via DLC later after launch. Pricing will be disclosed at a later date for the title across platforms. Players can sign up via the official website for updates and announcements regularly.
The studio invites fans to join their Discord community for news and discussions. The world of Kalatos features Water, Fire, Earth, Metal, Wind, and Electric Blessings. Your choices shape the fate of the planet and forge new legends throughout.
