One upcoming game we haven’t talked about yet that has intrigued me for a while now is Yurukill: The Calumniation Games.
As described on the official website, you play a character falsely accused of killing 21 people, now imprisoned and forced to play a game to win your freedom.
It’s a mystery game that features puzzles, cross-examinations, and…
…shoot ’em up segments.
That’s the one thing that has kept me from making up my mind about Yurukill just yet. The story and overall style looks like my sort of thing, and I like that sort of death game/escape game premise, but I’ve never been a big shoot ’em up fan.
Still, it’s an unusual combination and the game seems pretty interesting. A new story trailer came out today, which is what caught my attention.
It will be out on May 25 in Japan, July 5 in North America, and July 8 in Europe, for PS5, PS4, and Switch, with a PC version to follow sometime as well.
What do you think of Yurukill: The Calumniation Games? Are you planning to pick it up?
(In unrelated news, the replacement of the broken mobile Phoenix Wright Trilogy with a better port has now been confirmed for the west as well, but I didn’t think that warranted its own post.)

This game has definitely caught my interest. It does seem an eclectic combination, but after playing Aegis Rim I can see how something like that could work… so I may give it a shot.
Yes, that’s true. I originally wasn’t interested in that one because of the gameplay, but it ended up winning me over completely because of its story.
