Season Trailer Released for Deepflame Dragon Song

May 14 (News On Japan) - A new season titled 'Deepflame Dragon Song' is about to begin, taking players deep into an underground city.

In this latest chapter, players will experience a new storyline while exploring an enigmatic new area shrouded in mystery. As they venture through the subterranean world, long-buried secrets hidden for over a thousand years are set to be revealed.

Deepflame Dragon Song unfolds in a vast, subterranean city long forgotten by the world above. As the once-sealed gates to this underground realm creak open, players are drawn into a dark yet breathtaking world where molten rivers flow through crumbling ruins, and eerie melodies echo through fire-lit corridors.

The season follows the journey of a lone traveler—guided only by fragments of a forbidden prophecy—as they descend into the depths of the earth to uncover the truth behind the "Crimson Lament," a legendary dragon's requiem said to hold the power to rewrite fate. Along the way, players will meet survivors of a lost civilization, each guarding pieces of a thousand-year-old secret that could either save or consume the world.
