SteamDB, which keeps track of everything in Steam’s database, has a new entry that should catch the attention of Utawarerumono fans: Monochrome Mobius: Rights and Wrongs Forgotten.

Back in November, we discussed the announcement of a new Utawarerumono game called Monochrome Moebius: Toki no Taika.

The appearance of Monochrome Mobius on SteamDB along with the new subtitle “Rights and Wrongs Forgotten” suggests both English localization and a PC version for the upcoming Utawarerumono midquel. No platforms have been officially announced yet.

This lines right up with the expectation of an announcement in the near future, too. April 26 is the 20th anniversary of the series, and the official anniversary website has opened up with a concert being streamed on that day.

Announcements have been hinted at for that day as well.

So with its sudden SteamDB entry right ahead of the 20th anniversary celebration, it’s quite likely we’ll learn more about Monochrome Mobius next week.

I still need to catch up on Utawarerumono, since so far I’ve only played Prelude to the Fallen. I’m excited to see the series getting new entries, though, so I’ll be looking forward to hearing about Monochrome Mobius. What do you think we’ll learn about the upcoming new Utawarerumono game?

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!

What do you think about the new Utawarerumono game?
