As we discussed, there was a broadcast on Saturday to discuss the upcoming new Utawarerumono game.

Indeed, the broadcast provided our first look at the game, as well as it officially being announced for PS5, Switch 2, and PC.

I haven’t looked into it in too much detail, since I’m not caught up on the series.

However, it’s the sequel to Monochrome Mobius and is a turn-based RPG like that rather than the strategy RPG / visual novel hybrid of the main games. From the screenshots, it looks beautiful!

Additionally, a Switch 2 version of Monochrome Mobius was also announced.

Localization hasn’t been announced yet, but it seems pretty likely. I’ll have my fingers crossed waiting for the news.

I still need to play Mask of Truth and Monochrome Mobius, but who knows? The sequel is due out sometime in 2026, so maybe by the time it’s out here, I’ll have caught up!

Are you interested in the new Utawarerumono game?

Utawarerumono: Shiro e no Michishirube News Coming November 22

Remember the upcoming sequel to Monochrome Mobius?

I keep forgetting about it, but Utawarerumono: Shiro e no Michishirube was originally announced for this year, and then it was delayed to 2026.

There hasn’t really been any news about it, though, not even platforms.

Now, however, Aquaplus has announced a broadcast to be held on November 22 at 3 PM JST / 10 PM PT / 1 AM ET (I think I got my time conversions right).

According to the translation from Gematsu, the broadcast will focus on Shiro e no Michishirube and feature a few of the voice actors. It will be followed two hours later by a broadcast about the mobile game.

So, it sounds we’ll finally get some solid information about the new game!

I say “we” despite the fact that I’ll probably avoid reading too many details about it at all, since I still haven’t caught up on the series. Speaking of which, it’s been way too long since I played Mask of Deception… I need to start Mask of Truth one of these days…

Anyway, are you looking forward to news about the new Utawarerumono game?

Monochrome Mobius Sequel Utawarerumono: Shiro e no Michishirube Announced

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?
