Emberstoria, a new strategy RPG from Square Enix, launches in Japan on November 27th. The game, set in the world of Purgatory, features resurrected warriors known as Embers battling monsters. Pre-downloads are now available.
The game boasts a classic Square Enix style: a grand, dramatic storyline, impressive visuals, and a diverse cast of Embers. Players build their own flying city, Anima Arca, and experience a story voiced by over 40 actors. While a Western release isn't confirmed, anticipation is high.
However, recent news about Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent's transfer to NetEase raises questions about Square Enix's mobile strategy. This new release might signal a shift in their approach. Emberstoria's future outside Japan remains uncertain; it could remain exclusive, or a global release might be handled by NetEase. The outcome will be telling regarding Square Enix's future mobile game plans.
