Utawarerumono: Shiro e no Michishirube is the upcoming new Utawarerumono game, which we last discussed in November.

It is a turn-based JRPG following Monochrome Mobius and is in development for PS5, Switch 2, and PC.

The release date for Japan has now been announced as May 28, but that’s not all we learned. From Anime News Network’s translation of a recent Famitsu interview, it is intended to be the final Utawarerumono game.

It sounds like it doesn’t necessarily rule out future entries in the series , but it will complete the story the scenario writer had planned.

According to Gematsu, the interview also revealed it will take about 35 hours to complete if you let all the voice lines play out. That feels… strangely short compared to the others, especially if it’s the last planned entry, but that might be an estimate only for the main story and the game will be longer overall. I suppose we’ll find out.

Localization hasn’t been announced yet, but I’d be surprised if this one doesn’t get picked up. (I’m still waiting for that detective spin-off, though.) In the meantime, I really need to catch up on the series by playing Mask of Truth and Monochrome Mobius!

Are you interested in the new Utawarerumono game? How do you feel about it potentially being the final game in the series?

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?

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?
