Turn-based RPG Utawarerumono: Shiro e no Michishirube will launch for PlayStation 5, Switch 2, and PC via Steam on May 28 in Japan for 8,580 yen, the latest issue of Weekly Famitsu reveals.
As previously announced, a Switch 2 version of Monochrome Mobius: Rights and Wrongs Forgotten will be available on the same day.
In an interview published by Famitsu.com, AQUAPLUS president Naoya Shimokawa said a double pack including both Utawarerumono: Shiro e no Michishirube and Monochrome Mobius: Rights and Wrongs Forgotten will also be available.
Shimokawa also mentioned that the story should take about 35 hours to complete for those who listen to the voice-overs and carefully read the text, or about 20 to 25 hours for those read faster.
The game will feature around 100 new songs, and the battle system from Monochrome Mobius: Rights and Wrongs Forgotten will return with new features and refinements based on the “Action Ring” system that represents the order of actions.
Here is the game’s story synopsis:
This is a story from the distant past. No, this is a story from the far future.
The great state of Yamato—a land ruled by an emperor, a living god.
Thanks to Oshtor, Mikazuchi, Munechika, and Shunya, the enemy state of Arva Shulan’s assault was repelled, and Yamato’s peaceful days were restored.
But at a certain point, a shadow of unrest enshrouded Yamato. Strange phenomena arose in various places. Seemingly unrelated events converged at a single point.
In response, three points overlapped with one another, and once again, a new journey began.
They still have no way of knowing that, at the end of this journey, there lies a signpost leading to that which will be sung—within a cradle shrouded in pure white mist, the time of slumber was nearing its end.
