About Agarest: Generations of War 2
Agarest: Generations of War 2 is the third entry in the Agarest series, now on Steam after a PlayStation 3 exclusive.

Story and Setting
The narrative follows Weiss, an amnesiac who learns he must become a Vessel for divine power after a blinding light devastates the central continent and summons demons. Eva informs him of his sin of deicide, prompting a quest to atone and resurrect the being he killed. The plot unfolds across several generations, with choices influencing outcomes.
The world is a newly designed universe separate from previous Agarest titles, allowing new players to follow the story without prior experience. Demons spread like a plague, and the central continent remains silent, providing a backdrop for over 80 hours of gameplay.
