While we were busy focusing on The Kaito Files, another exciting announcement came out – a new entry in the Utawarerumono series.
Utawarerumono: Shiro e no Michishirube was announced for 2025 in Japan, with no platforms given yet.
Despite its name, it is the sequel to Monochrome Mobius: Rights and Wrongs Forgotten and will feature an evolved version of its turn-based JRPG gameplay. It was confusing enough that Monochrome Mobius was part of the series without having “Utawarerumono” in the title, and now its sequel does.
(There’s probably a story-based reason for that, actually.)
I still haven’t played Monochrome Mobius, because I haven’t caught up on the rest of the series yet. While Mask of Deception leaving me excited to see where the story goes, Mask of Truth has still been waiting in my backlog. With another game on the horizon, I’m itching to get back into it and see this story through.
Maybe by the time this new game (hopefully) gets announced for localization, I’ll have caught up.
I’d love to see another large-scale visual novel from the series after this, too. Maybe once they finish the Monochrome Mobius storyline?
I haven’t looked into this new game in too much detail, since I don’t want to see spoilers for the games I haven’t played yet. Nevertheless, I’m looking forward to learning more about it in the future and seeing how its gameplay has evolved.
What do you think about the new Utawarerumono announcement?
I saw this blog post titled and almost went cross-eyed wondering if I was reading the wrong language. All my eyes could catch on was the word “Sequel” though the rest managed to parse through after a few seconds, hahaha
Hahaha, yes, the title is quite a mouthful, isn’t it? Particularly since the new game doesn’t have an English subtitle yet.
