Time to kick some medieval Japanese booty again! A new game based on Rumiko Takahashi’s famous anime/manga series Inuyasha is heading to Japanese cell phones sometime in 2020: Inuyasha: Yomigaeru Monogatari (Inuyasha: The Awakening Story) .
Yomigaeru Monogatari will be the first video game based on the property since 2007’s Secret of the Divine Jewel for Nintendo DS (which was a dungeon crawler). The game will be a co-op and versus free-to-play RPG and the combat looks similar to recent Square-Enix games.
The trailers shows a 3D recreation of the famous opening scene from the manga and anime of Inuyasha, our unlikely protagonist, stealing the Shikon no Tama, along with a few gameplay snippets of battles. The offical website’s gallery shows the famous scene when Kagome discovers Inuyasha sleeping in the forest. Exact details about the nuance of the game’s combat system are unknown but characters from the series Inuyasha, Kagome, Kikyo, Miroku, Sango, Myoga, Shippo, and Sesshomaru have been confirmed to appear in some capacity. Antagonists from the series such as Naraku, Yura of the Demon Hair, Urasue, The Hell Painter, and a gigantic ogre have been seen in cards and in battles.
According to Game Watch, the trial version goes live on January 30th, 2020 and will be available until February 4th, 2020. Check out the first trailer above from their official YouTube channel!
