Follow me through the gates of oblivion,
From war-torn and desolate battlefields,
To the blood soaked plains of no man's land.
The darkness of humanity is an echo;
A sound of hope as well as of destruction,
A nightmare that lives eternally.
This is how the world ends.

As has been the case throughout time, history has again repeated itself. And with it, the next chapter of the Darkness Echo has begun...

Collapsed Benevolence.

In a vast reality ripe with renewed carnage, you must choose an allegiance, and pick your battles wisely. The Second Empire is hungry for territory, and you are all that stands in its way.

But keep one thing in mind: your enemies do not all lie within this single entity, for in Collapsed Benevolence, anything is possible, and anyone-even your neighbor-could become your adversary.
