"The upcoming action-adventure RPG, set in 14th century medieval Italy, follows protagonist Aeta (Alby Baldwin), a young knight errant, as she braves the dangers of the Italian Peninsula to find Bianca (Jennifer English), who was kidnapped after bandits raided their village. Set to be released on 12 March this year, the ambitious first project from development studio Sedleo has already garnered hype after it was first revealed in August 2025. That hype has skyrocketed after its story trailer, released on Thursday (22 January), seemed to suggest Aeta and Bianca are in love."
"A clip in the trailer shows the pair, presumably before the bandit raid, sharing a touching moment in a nearby field. It then shows Aeta, having survived an attack from bloodthirsty raiders, clutching a medallion belonging to Bianca in a moment best described as unabashed sapphic yearning. Fans were quick to express their absolute elation that the game was going to feature a lesbian protagonist, noting that the game's storefront on PC marketplace Steam describes Bianca as Aeta's "closest one.""
