Another Day, Another Gem!
Given the immensely strong following that the show has garnered over the years, fans must have lost their collective minds when they found out that Steven and the Crystal Gems were making their way to consoles via a brand new RPG.
That being the case, we can only imagine the state they’re in now, as the game has revealed its villain; a completely original character who looks like she’ll immediately become a household name.
According to an article on Gamespot –
Along with a cast of fan-favorite characters, Steven Universe: Save the Light, the upcoming Steven Universe RPG for PS4 and Xbox One, will feature a handful of new characters. Today, Cartoon Network revealed another Crystal Gem who’ll be making her debut in the title: Hessonite.
Described as a “pompous Homeworld commander,” Hessonite is the Crystal Gem allied with the game’s other original character, Squaridot. Hessonite is the one responsible for stealing the Prism from Steven at the start of the adventure, and she intends to restore into a powerful Gem weapon. You can take a look at the first artwork of Hessonite below.
Like Paper Mario, Save the Light is a 2D RPG that features a turn-based battle system with action commands. Players form a party out of popular Steven Universe characters and must press the correct button at the right time in order to defend yourself against enemies and deal more damage when you attack. You can watch 20 minutes of gameplay footage from the title above.
Steven Universe: Save the Light launches for PS4 in North and Latin America later this month, on October 31. The Xbox One release will follow globally three days later, on November 3. The game will only be available digitally and will cost $25.
If you’re a Steven Universe fan, this game should be at the top of your priority least. If only to see how entertaining this new villain really is!
