alone against an army.

For family, they made the greatest sacrifices.
For honor, they stood and faced the will of gods,
And fought a war which shook the earth.

In the age when Zeus Almighty ruled over immortals and men,
what begins as a truce between two cities quickly erupts into a
massive war that will shake the very foundations of Olympus.

your spear through him. Or just throttle them with your
bare hands.

confront mythical creatures sent by the gods themselves.

Iliad, Homer’s epic poem from the 9th century BC, and indepth

Fact Sheet

A king will die at the hands of his own offspring, reads the
prophecy of Chancellor Zofor….

TRINITY: Souls of Zill O’ll delivers an unforgettable journey
through a world in peril. Players take control of three heroic
characters as their quest takes them through a fantastic world
filled with vast fields, mysterious cities and dark chambers.
According to myth, the continent of Vyashion, as well as the
physical world, was created by the god Notoon. Although
universally worshipped across the continent, the people’s shared
faith in Notoon failed to bring about a unified society. Vyashion’s
many races – human, elf and vampire -- have maintained an
uneasy peace amongst each other and must now come together
to fight the evil King Balor.

Players will use a unique team-based system to switch between
each of the three characters -- a wizard/swordsman, a warrior
and an assassin -- on the fly and unleash combo attacks that use
both magic and physical prowess to defeat the countless
creatures and towering minions of King Balor.

FEATURES
• High Adventure: Brought together by fate, the three
adventurers in your party must work together to explore
Vyashion’s fields, dungeons and towns, collect items,
survive encounters with mythological beasts and ultimately
defeat the evil King Balor.

• Party Dynamic: An innovative team system lets you
alternate between each of the three characters: a
wizard/swordsman, a warrior and an assassin. Magic
abilities and physical offensives can be used together to
unleash combo attacks.

• Interactive Environments: A completely interactive world
filled with strategic possibilities. Uncover new paths by
destroying objects, set areas aflame or freeze them with
spell casting, and tear through a bevy of different locales as
you journey the continents.

• Non-Linear Adventure: The game's story, told in an open
non-linear format, offers a unique adventure depending on
how you play.

• Endless Possibilities: Throughout the game, dozens of side
quests and hidden opportunities add more adventures and
depth to an already rich experience.

• Legendary Characters: Play as Areus, a cynical young wizard
and swordsman; Dagda, a renowned warrior known for
fighting bare-handed; Selene, a vampire assassin who excels
at unconventional combat techniques.
