Touken Ranbu Warriors Tomoegata Trailer Introduces the Monocled Warrior

Touken Ranbu Warriors Tomoegata Trailer

Both publishers DMM Games and Nitroplus and co-developers Omega Force and Ruby Party have shared the Touken Ranbu Warriors Tomoegata trailer, showing off another character in the musou game.

Here’s a rundown on the character, via its official website:

A naginata (long bladed pole weapon) with a wide body and a large curve at its tip, and also used for ceremonial purposes. It is a collection of comma-shaped designs (tomoegata), without an inscription or anecdote. He identifies more as a divine being and less as a human. He is overprotective of his master, always standing by and taking care of the saniwa so they are always in the spotlight. In this game, he is assigned to the Third Team.

Here’s the new Touken Ranbu Warriors Tomoegata trailer:

Here’s a rundown on the game:

Touken Ranbu Warriors is the first-ever console game in the Touken Ranbu series, Touken Ranbu Warriors. The all-new experience promises to combine the Touken training of the Touken Ranbu -ONLINE- simulation game with the breathtaking action of KOEI TECMO’s popular WARRIORS musou series, delivering must-play 1 vs. 1,000 combat. Touken Ranbu Warriors is currently in development for the Nintendo Switch™, and is scheduled to release in North America on May 24, 2022.

Touken Ranbu Warriors features 15 characters from Touken Ranbu -ONLINE-, where famous swords take the form of warriors named Touken Danshi (swordsmen), and the elite fighters are sworn to protect history. In Touken Ranbu Warriors, members of Touken Danshi have been drifting through time without their master – the Saniwa – to lead them, when they are suddenly attacked by the fearsome History Retrograde Army (HRA). After the initial conflict, the Touken Danshi are approached by the Government of the Time, and sent on a mission into the war-torn Sengoku Era where the revision of Japanese history is already underway. Can the Touken Danshi heroes restore order while restoring the original timeline? The fierce but beautiful battles of the Touken Danshi are finally a reality!

The game is set to feature the electrifying musou action fans expect from a WARRIORS title including battling alongside partner characters and head-to-head duels against enemies! Touken Ranbu Warriors also features the “Honmaru,” the main base of our heroes. Here, you can freely place members of the Touken Danshi in order to get a glimpse of their daily lives that can only be experienced in this game.

The rousing action of Touken Ranbu Warriors will be on full display during this year’s Tokyo Game Show. On Oct. 2, beginning at 23:00 JST, an exclusive first-look will be showcased as part of the official TGS2021 DMM Special Program, with the highly-anticipated segment simultaneously interpreted in English. To watch the presentation, please visit the official DMM Games YouTube channel.

Touken Ranbu Warriors is set to launch in both North America and Europe on May 24, 2022 for Switch. The Japanese release is set for PC and Switch on February 17, 2022.
