Emberstoria, a new mobile strategy RPG from Square Enix, launches in Japan on November 27th. The game, set in a world called Purgatory, features resurrected warriors known as Embers battling monsters. Pre-downloads are now available.
The game boasts a classic Square Enix style: a grand, dramatic storyline, impressive visuals, and a diverse cast of recruitable Embers. Players build their own flying city, Anima Arca, and experience a story voiced by over 40 actors. While a Western release isn't confirmed, anticipation is high.
However, recent news about Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent's operational transfer to NetEase raises questions about Square Enix's mobile strategy. This new release might signal a shift in their approach.
Emberstoria's global release prospects remain uncertain. It could stay Japan-exclusive, or NetEase might handle a Western launch. The game's eventual global rollout, or lack thereof, will likely offer insights into Square Enix's future mobile game plans.
