Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter gets a new trailer showing “all-new magic system”

Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter‘s official trailer has been unveiled by United Label, in anticipation of its launch on January 28th.

The trailer unveils a freshly designed magic casting mechanism, leading us through Arlo’s (the main character) quest for retribution. This is a tale of vengeance set against an age-old, lethal menace that has resurfaced in Ratdom, many years after the final events depicted in the initial game.

Whiskers of Winter. This sequel enhances its predecessor by adding fresh gameplay elements, improving its signature intense combat, and offering new giant beast-hunt side quests, as well as an extended campaign. Additionally, it introduces tactical traps and powerful ‘Elementa’ spellcasting, which enriches the gameplay experience by providing more combat options.

Check out the trailer, below:


 

Jack Bennett, Lead Designer and Co-Founder at Odd Bug Studio, announced that spellcasting will be introduced in Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter. Players have been familiar with the intense combat of swords and spears from the original game, and for the sequel, the developers wanted to add an additional layer of real-time combat options. The new ‘Elementa’ magics, combined with traps, offer players a new strategic element in their battles against Arlo’s enemies.

Here’s the key features from the press release:

  • Explore a vast, wintry kingdom: Fully narrated by RPG legend Doug Cockle (The Witcher franchise, Alan Wake 2, Baldur’s Gate 3) prepare to embark on an epic adventure across the northern realm and biomes of the Ratdom; an expansive, frost-bitten land on the brink of all-out war.
  • Hunt down giant beasts: Track down and defeat 15 legendary beasts of the Ratdom’s northern frontier and be rewarded with rare resources with which to craft devastating equipment. But be warned, these colossal creatures won’t go down without a fight… and then some.
  • Unleash the power of gods: Unlock the power of the four deities and unleash their powerful ‘Elementa’ spells in combat; harness the magics of fire, poison, ice,and electric upon the damned malevolent Dark Wings!
  • Master challenging combat: Face down the Dark Wing threat in deadly battles; let the devilish bats taste steel of blade and spear, or attack at range with bolts and arrows… and set elemental traps against these marauding foes (and adjust the difficulty at any point if it’s getting *too* much of a challenge – we won’t judge!)
  • Improved base building: Construct and upgrade the devastated Rat fortress of Winter’s Edge to gain access to more powerful items from the smithy, tastier meals at the kitchen, a wider range of powerful traps from the shoppe, and more!

The sequel to “Tails of Iron,” titled “Whiskers of Winter,” will be released for PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch on the 28th of January.
