There was an Utawarerumono 20th Anniversary live stream today, and Aquaplus announced a new game in the series!
Monochrome Moebius: Toki no Taika is a new Utawarerumono game set for 2022.
Very few details have been released so far, but Gematsu has a video from the live stream showing a cutscene, opening movie, and a trailer.
According to fans who have played more in the series than I have so far, it appears to be a midquel – set ahead of the Mask games (I think).
The trailer shows a new character, whose name is Shunnya, running through gameplay environments, which is not what I expected. It looks beautiful, but it leaves me wondering what sort of game this will be. It doesn’t appear to be a visual novel, and no combat is shown in the trailer.
A couple of shots look like there are enemies visible on the field. This suggests it could be a regular JRPG instead of a strategy RPG, or at least have battles that are smaller in scope.
We don’t know much at all about Monochrome Moebius yet, and it looks like it could be quite a departure from the mainline Utawarerumono series. However, it also looks like an ambitious entry, so I look forward to learning more about this title as time goes on!
