Torment: Tides of Numenera Story Trailer Showcases Epic Events Set A Billion Years In The Future

inXile Entertainment and Techland Publishing revealed today the latest trailer for their upcoming, highly-anticipated science-fantasy RPG Torment: Tides of Numenera, the thematic successor to one of the most critically revered and in-depth CRPGs of all time.

This epic cinematic story trailer recounts the lore leading up to the very moment that players begin their odyssey as the Last Castoff – the flesh-and-blood by-product of a megalomaniacal deity known as the Changing God.

About the Game:

A billion years in the future a man discovered a way to cheat death. A seeker of knowledge and wisdom, his ultimate goal was to leave an unforgettable mark on the world. In his quest for everlasting legacy, he discovered ancient technology – the Numenera – that allowed him to transfer his consciousness to a body of his own design. Thus he became known as the Changing God.

In a bid to escape death, the Changing God inadvertently awakened a fearsome, ancient beast known as The Sorrow – a terrifyingly powerful guardian of balance bent on destroying the Changing God and all of his Castoffs.

It is at this point that the dramatic events of your birth unfold and your story to answer who you are, and what your legacy might be, begins…

The game will launch on February 28, 2017 for PC, PS4 and Xbox One.

Check out the Trailer:

“Slowly crafting and refining a legion of Frankenstein’s monsters to house his consciousness, this body hopping deity would simply leave these castoff bodies behind, hoping that they would rot away as he jumped to a new host. Instead, these ‘Castoffs’ would gain a new consciousness, becoming sentient and able to live free from their shapeshifting creator.

At first The Changing God was friendly to his Castoffs, leading them like a doting father. However, something is bound to go wrong when your consciousness is constantly switching from host to host, leading the once benevolent god to grow distant and cruel. To make things worse, this constant cheating of death awakened an ancient avenging beast known as the Sorrow, bent on restoring order by finally destroying The Changing God and his Castoffs.”
