The Sacred Hero - Teaser & Info

SiMPLiSTiC (what do they have against capital I’s) recently dropped a teaser trailer for “The Sacred Hero”, a game coming out in 2018. It won’t be a Switch exclusive, but will also be released on PC. Very little is known about the game as of now, as it’s still in early development. I have found a few interesting tidbits, including an official tweet from August saying “that [The Sacred Hero] involves the player never obtaining a sword/weapon. The attack method offers a completely unique experience.” I wonder why the teaser trailer featured a sword then? The Sacred Hero is going to focus heavily on being open-world. The devs want you to feel like you can go anywhere, any time for any reason. Now, to be honest this teaser looks pretty bad. Fortunately, SiMPLiSTiC has addressed some concerns in the comment section on YouTube. They said: “It has been noticed that many people are complaining about the sword being from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and the teaser including a low gameplay FPS. The sword has been used as a ‘placeholder’ due to the game’s early development and we do not plan on using any content from other games or creators without their authorization to do so in the final game, especially Nintendo. Secondly, there is lag spikes in this teaser due to the game’s early development and how it is not properly optimized yet. The FPS drops will lower as development continues. Thank You.” Obviously understandable, but I do think it would have been much better...
