We know, you’re still coming back Sun Crest it’s actually real, but we have more news about Platinum to share.
The company’s fifth announcement has now been revealed as the new title, The world of demons. Unfortunately, it is exclusively Apple Arcade. It also happens to be PlatinumGames’ first mobile title.
“World of Demons is an action game with a magnificent visual style inspired by the Japanese ukiyo-e and sumi-e prints. Players will take on the role of the samurai Onimaru as they explore beautiful environments that fight and recruit yokai and oni, the spirits and monsters of Japanese folklore. “
If the name sounds familiar, according to the manufacturer, Koji Tanaka, it is because it was previously announced as a free-to-play release in 2018. At that time, the game was meant to be published by the Japanese mobile phone company, DeNA.
It is now “very different” from the original ad and has been redesigned from the “base” for Apple’s gaming service. Here’s what Platinum chief Atsushi Inaba said about it during a discussion with IGN:
“The graphic style, the design of the main character and the concept of including yokai inspired by traditional legends are the same as before. Other than that, it’s a completely different game. We had the opportunity to launch the game for Apple Arcade and, instead of making just a few small adjustments for the new platform, we decided to take this opportunity to rebuild the game from scratch. “
Because this is an exclusive feature, don’t expect this game to appear on consoles anytime soon. Having said that, would you like to see Platinum bring the World of Demons – or something like that – to Switch? Tell us in the comments.
