Lancarse's tactical battler has a release dateIt looks like The DioField Chronicle is just around the corner. The new RPG from Lancarse and Square Enix has a release date set for September 22, 2022.
The date was first shown during a livestream (https://twitter.com/Nibellion/status/1543211487363211265) about The DioField Chronicle for Japan, with a date of September 22, 2022 but no mention if that included North America.
Store pages and pre-orders have been going up, however, with a Sept. 22 date set on the PlayStation Store (https://store.playstation.com/en-us/concept/10003580), Xbox store (https://www.xbox.com/en-us/games/store/the-diofield-chronicle/9p8jxncmttwt), Steam (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1399080/The_DioField_Chronicle/), and Square Enix Store (https://store.na.square-enix-games.com/en_US/search/The%20DioField%20Chronicle).
The DioField Chronicle is retailing for $59.99, though a Deluxe Edition can nab you some extras for $74.99. Or there's the $169.99 Collector's Edition set (https://store.na.square-enix-games.com/en_US/product/763836/the-diofield-chronicle-collectors-edition-set-switch), which includes a full-on board game based on The DioField Chronicle. I do respect the creativity with this particular pack-in.

It was me, The DioField ChronicleThe DioField Chronicle is a new strategy RPG from Square Enix and Lancarse. It follows a band of mercenaries called Blue Fox, as war erupts around them.
It advertises a real-time battle system that utilizes strategy and decision-making about units' strengths and weaknesses.
Plus, it's also got a diorama-style visual for battles that looks pretty great. It's reminding me a bit of Triangle Strategy with its isometric view and shading.

The DioField Chronicle was first revealed (https://www.destructoid.com/the-diofield-chronicle-new-tactical-rpg-real-time-system-square-enix/) during a Sony State of Play in March, alongside another Square Enix game Valkyrie Elysium. That new Valkyrie game has been locked in (https://www.destructoid.com/valkyrie-elysium-release-date-playstation-pc-trailer-square-enix/) for a September 29 date for PlayStation platforms, with a PC launch coming later on November 11.
It looks like between those two games and the Crisis Core (https://www.destructoid.com/crisis-core-final-fantasy-vii-reunion-reveal-window-remaster/) remaster, Square Enix has a good amount of games in store for the months ahead.
