The Re:Zero – Starting Life in Another World: The Prophecy of the Throne opening movie has been unveiled. The game is set to come out for the PlayStation 4 and the Nintendo Switch on January 29, 2021. Re:Zero is about a young man, Subaru, who is sent to an alternate world and fights his way through various obstacles to survive in order to save the one he loves, Emilia. It’s more complex than that, but, it’s a must-see anime with the second cour of the second season currently airing in Japan. You can watch it currently on Crunchyroll. It’s a cultural phenomenon and the video game looks equally promising. It’s developed by Chime and published by Spike Chunsoft. The game is a hybrid of a visual novel and a tactical role-playing game. It takes place during the events of the first season, during the royal selection process. There are both new and old characters alike, bringing a freshness yet familiarity to the game. Subaru appears to still be the main character, and this opening movie is a nice tease for what we’re in store for when the game comes out. If there’s any doubt, Chime was the developer who was responsible for Zero Time Dilemma, our 2016 game of the year.
We’re very excited for this Re:Zero game, and the Re:Zero – Starting Life in Another World: The Prophecy of the Throne opening movie is just the beginning.
