The game is set in a world based on Celtic mythology. While the main campaign is for one player, Nexon says some multiplayer activities allow up to four players to fight together. Playable characters feature different combat styles. Fiona uses a shield, Lann focuses on dodging, Delia uses a lance, and Karok uses counterattacks. A new character named Noctia uses a scythe and a spirit companion named Vespera.

Nexon brought a playable version of the game to TwitchCon in San Diego from November 13 to 15, 2026. Attendees can play as Noctia, Lann, or Delia. The company also started an official creator program at the event for players to receive updates and early access opportunities.
