Below, a promotional video and the visual that were released:
Synopsis:
In a city of the dead, long ruined and far from human civilization, lives a single human child. His name is Will, and he is being raised by three undead: the skeletal warrior, Blood; the graceful mummified priestess, Maria; and the eccentric spectral sorcerer, Gus. The three shower the boy with love and teach him everything they know. But one day, Will begins to wonder: “Who am I?”
Will must unravel the mysteries of the distant land of the dead and unearth the secret past of the undead. He must learn the love and mercy of the good gods, and the prejudice and madness of the evil ones. And when he knows all this, the boy will take the first step on the path to becoming a Paladin.“I promised you. It will take a while, but I will tell you everything. This is the story of the death of many heroes. It is the story of how we die, and it is the reason why you grew up here.”
