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. It boasts a classic Square Enix style with a dramatic storyline, impressive visuals, and a diverse cast of characters voiced by over 40 actors. Players build their own flying city, Anima Arca.
While initially a Japan-exclusive release, the game's future global availability remains uncertain. This release follows the news that Square Enix is transferring operations of Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent to NetEase, suggesting a potential shift in their mobile strategy. Emberstoria’s release could be a key indicator of Square Enix’s future mobile plans, with NetEase potentially handling a Western release. A straightforward global launch seems unlikely, but not entirely impossible.
