Dating-Action Game Eternights Announced for PS4, PS5 and PC

Studio Sai announced their latest project, a dating-action game called Eternights for PlayStation 4/5 and PC.

While very little of Eternights was shown, Studio Sai Founder, Jae Yoo, offered some insight into what players can expect and why they refer to it as a dating-action game.

Hi everyone, I’m Jae Yoo, founder of Studio Sai. We are a small, fully remote, independent studio with developers working from several different countries. After working so hard over the past two years on our debut game, it is very surreal to me to finally be able to reveal Eternights to the world!

So, what is Eternights?

Eternights is a dating-action game where you try to make the most out of life during the apocalypse.  So you scavenge for supplies, explore dungeons… and go on dates. Please watch the below trailer to get a flavor of what to expect in our game, coming to PS4 and PS5 early next year, and you can get a sneak peak in our brand-new trailer below.

There’s so much to look forward to in Eternights so here’s a taster of what to expect in our game: 

Face the infected

One day, something, or someone, has turned humans into dangerous monsters. All that interests them now is violence and power. They are what stand between you, a cure, and the world you want. 

Date survivors

Some of you might be curious about what the dating part of a “dating action game” is. Dating is… well… dating. When you’re not exploring dungeons, you can choose to spend time growing closer to a cast of five quirky and loveable characters. As you explore their stories and grow closer to them, you also unlock unique skills and spells you can use in battle. 

Manage your calendar

There are deadlines for you to beat the dungeons and it is important for you to manage your time wisely. Will you grow closer to your confidant in order to deepen your relationship and unlock new skills? Will you scavenge the wasteland for supplies? Will you grow stronger by training with your companions? Or will you ignore all of that and go to the dungeon the first chance you get?  It’s up to you, but remember, the clock is ticking. 

Explore Dungeons

The dungeons you will explore are filled with mystery and danger. As the deadline looms, you will have to quickly overcome traps, puzzles, and dancing minigames to make it through in time.  Luckily, you have your confidants by your side to help you when things get scary.

Animated cutscenes

With Eternights we want you to immerse yourself and truly connect with the characters you are spending time with. We’ve crafted several fully 2D animated cutscenes that change depending on who you decide to date. 

I hope you’ve enjoyed this first look at our debut game. As a storyteller, I’ve always wanted to mix a love story with adrenaline-driven action. I wanted players to have a strong, personal reason to drive them forward in combat encounters and to feel they were fighting for more than just their own survival – they were fighting for those they love. 

Eternights will launch on PS5 and PS4 early next year. We can’t wait to show you more of the game, so stay tuned for more updates between now and launch.
