Publisher Binary Haze Interactive and developers Live Wire and Adglobe have announced a sequel to 2021’s Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights with Ender Magnolia: Bloom in the Mist for the Nintendo Switch. Ender Magnolia is expected to release later this year. No word on other platforms as of yet.
The sequel to the critically-acclaimed dark fantasy metroidvania, Ender Magnolia: Bloom in the Mist takes place decades after Ender Lilies and its Rain of Death. A new journey begins in the Land of Fumes, where the kingdom’s desire for conquest led to the creation of the Homunculi, machine-like artificial lifeforms. A recent resource-harvesting mission gone awry caused toxic vapors to emerge from underground, driving both man and machine to feral madness.
As the Homonculi devolve into dangerous creatures, players take on the role of Lilac, an “Attuner” with the power to purify those infected by the fumes, who must save the kingdom. Aiding Lilac friendly machines and spirits who fight in Lilac’s stead, you’ll face off again mechanized legions of lunging carcasses, cannonball-firing corpses and chainsaw-wielding goblins.
Luckily, you’ll be able to turn foes into friends by exorcizing corruption from enemy bosses. Through this mechanic, players will be able to add 30 different abilities to Lilac’s combat repertoire in an enhanced battle system where she can equip up to four special abilities at once.
“We teased a sequel to Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights nearly two years ago, and we have received countless requests from our online community for a second adventure,” says Hiroyuki Kobayashi, CEO, Binary Haze Interactive. “It is an honor and a pleasure to announce our next title with the help of Nintendo during such a prestigious event. We have much much to share in the very near future, stay tuned!”
Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights is available on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, and the Nintendo Switch.
