Publisher Shiravune and developer Aquaplus have announced a western release for Utawarerumono: Past and Present Rediscovered, the next main entry in the Utawarerumono series.
The previously announced game, known as Utawarerumono: Shiro e no Michishirube in Japan, is coming west on PC (via Steam) the same day as its Japanese release, on May 28th. The Japanese release will also be on Switch 2 and PS5.
Here’s a rundown on the game, plus a new trailer and its opening movie:
The Utawarerumono legend reaches a new climax in this sprawling JRPG! As a shadow falls over Yamato once more, Oshtor and friends set out on a new adventure—and somewhere, amid white mists, a long slumber approaches its end.
Story
Long, long ago, in the distant past… or was it in the far-off future? The mighty empire of Yamato exists at peace under the rule of its god incarnate the Mikado.
Oshtor, Mikazuchi, Munechika, and Shunya have been hailed as heroes ever since they repelled an invasion out of long-lost Arva Shulan.
Yet once more, a shadow falls over the nation. Monster rise in every corner of the land, and disconnected incidents spiral towards one conclusion while old comrades triangulate a response.
As their journey begins anew, they have no way of knowing—what awaits them is sung about only in legends. Somewhere, white mists still cloud a cradle—but a long, light slumber is about to end.
Characters
- Oshtor (Voice: Kentaro Tone) – A warrior from the frontier province of Ennakamuy. Following the events of Monochrome Mobius: Rights and Wrongs Forgotten, he has been anointed as the Imperial Guard of the Right, one of the Twin Shields of Yamato. He wears the mask that he inherited from his fallen master Dikotoma.
- Shunya (Voice: Yuko Minaguchi) – A girl from distant Arva Shulan, the land at the ends of the earth. She traveled with Oshtor and his allies in their adventures but is currently recuperating in the mountains of Ennakamuy.
- Munechika (Voice: Saori Hayami) – The daughter of Murasame, viceroy of Izumo. As demure and polite as she appears, Munechika’s ladylike affectations barely conceal a burgeoning warrior’s spirit.
- Mikazuchi (Voice: Yuya Uchida) – A man hailing from Ashiwara, the City of Squalls. Following the events of Monochrome Mobius: Rights and Wrongs Forgotten, has been anointed as the Imperial Guard of the Left, one of the Twin Shields of Yamato. He wears the mask that he inherited from his family, once worn by a legendary ancestor.
