We know you’re still recovering from the fact Sol Cresta is actually real, but we have a little more Platinum news to share.
The company’s fifth game announcement has now been unveiled as the brand new action title, World of Demons. Unfortunately, this is an exclusive 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 Japanese ukiyo-e and sumi-wood block prints. Players take on the role of the samurai Onimaru as he explores beautiful environments fighting and recruiting with yokai and oni , the spirits and monsters of Japanese folklore. ‘
According to producer Koji Tanaka, if the name sounds familiar, it’s because it was announced earlier in 2018 as a free-to-play release. At the time, the game was intended to be published by the Japanese mobile company, DeNA.
It is now ‘very different’ from the original announcement and has been redesigned from ‘ground’ for Apple’s gaming service. Here’s what Platinum’s CEO Atsushi Inaba said during a conversation with IGN:
‘The graphic style, the design of the main character and the concept of the inclusion of yokai inspired by traditional legends are all the same as before. Apart from that, it’s a very different game. We had the opportunity to release the game for Apple Arcade, and instead of making just a few small adjustments to the new platform, we decided to take the opportunity to play the game from the ground up. to rebuild. “
Since it’s exclusive, you should not expect this game to appear on consoles anytime soon. If you want to say that, do you want to see Platinum bring World of Demons – or something like that – to the Switch? Tell us in the comments.
