ENDER MAGNOLIA: Bloom in the Mist (sequel to ENDER LILIES) lands on Nintendo Switch this January

With over 1.4 million units sold worldwide, it is no exaggeration to say that ENDER MAGNOLIA: Bloom in the Mist was a highly successful release for its publisher, Binary Haze. And so, the announcement of a sequel, called ENDER MAGNOLIA: Bloom in the Mist (still developed by Live Wire), really came as no surprise.

And today, it was announced that the full version of that sequel would be landing on Nintendo Switch in a little over 4 months: on January 22nd/23rd, to be precise!

To celebrate the full release announcement, Binary Haze has shared a brand new trailer for the game:

Next up, here’s some details about the story:

Set in the Land of Fumes, this prosperous magical superpower is home to vast quantities of magical resources lurking underneath the surface. In hopes of advancing their kingdom’s development, artificial life forms known as Homunculi came into being. Regrettably, toxic Fumes from the underground drove the Homunculi to madness, turning them into feral monsters.

You play as Lilac, an “Attuner” who possesses the power to save the Homunculi. Upon waking, you find yourself in a laboratory deep in the underground. There, you will become acquainted with the Homunculi closely involved in the kingdom’s downfall. Together with the Homunculi, set out in search of your lost memories and precious friends in the Land of Fumes. Follow the journey of destruction and rebirth in a post-apocalyptic world, decades after the disastrous Rain of Death.
