Kadokawa Corporation has announced an upcoming game based on the ever-popular anime series, The Rising of the Shield Hero, scheduled for Android, iOS, and PC. This is also the first global game project in the series, though the genre is yet to be revealed. It will have a global release.
Get ready for a new adventure and battles in the beloved universe
Fans of The Rising of the Shield Hero should get ready, because a game adaptation of this beloved series is finally coming. And for those who are new, this series is written by Aneko Yusagi as a web novel, and it gained huge popularity after the anime aired in 2019, leading to the production of the fifth season now.
As a long-time fan of the series, I’m beyond hyped about this news, since fans have been demanding a game adaptation for the longest time. So, the story centers around Naofumi Iwatani, who is summoned to a parallel world to fight inter-dimensional monsters, with victory being the only way home.
The author hints at a new protagonist and impressive visuals
While not many details are available yet, the author’s comment has already generated buzz. He stated, “I was amazed by the graphics, which seemed like a direct adaptation of the anime,” and hinted that you’ll enjoy the story and battles through your own unique hero. I feel it might lean into an adventure RPG.
To add to the hype, the original character designer, Minami Seira, called it “long-awaited new work,” and expressed excitement to see his designs “reflected in the unique gameplay and expressions.” With him closely supervising the project, I have high hopes for what the devs are going to bring.
The Rising of the Shield Hero game project is being launched for Android, iOS, and PC. The genre, launch date, and gameplay details are yet to be announced. That said, the timing for this is perfect, as the anime has also begun production for season 5, which will further boost the game’s hype.
