Rev. NOiR Gameplay
Not much is known about the gameplay mechanics of Rev. NOiR, but the teaser trailer, which premiered during the 2026 February State of Play, showcased snappy hack-and-slash combat against hostile beasts. Players can control the main hero, who is equipped with a sword, but there will likely be more playable characters who can wield magic and other melee weapons.
The combat also rewards precise timing, as the player is seen performing a perfect dodge, immediately followed by a heavy strike.
Rev. NOiR Story Plot
As it is an entirely new IP by Konami, there isn't much information available yet about Rev. NOiR's story, aside from hints shown in the teaser trailer and the poem-like description accompanying it on YouTube.
The main protagonist appears to be a "lonely boy" named Ash, who cannot recall his memories. He is accompanied by an unnamed "special girl" as they embark on a quest to save the world from the natural phenomenon lightfall, a harbinger of death.
It also alludes to the clashing, yet intertwined, themes of fate and free will. Whether bound by divine mandate or guided by human autonomy, their journey will alter the course of history.
