Nippon Ichi Software launched a teaser site for a new title.
The site currently features a video of a forest with a welcoming atmosphere, where plants and trees sway and the gentle rays of sunlight shine through the trees. The site will change little by little each day before the official announcement.
Earlier today, Japanese retailer Biccamera posted a listing for the Switch version of the unannounced title (which has already been deleted but archived), confirming that it will be called Warui Ousama for Rippa-na Yuusha, or The evil king and the noble hero, and is due out on June 24 in Japan. (Thanks, @ naetoru60.)
Here is the description of the Biccamera game:
A moving story born out of communication between species
“I’m going to become a noble hero like Dad!”
The human girl Yuu is the daughter of the late hero. Created by the dragon king, she is told about her father’s adventures every night … Inspired by the story of the hero who defeated the overlord, she embarks on an adventure to become a noble heroine.
But Yuu still doesn’t know … that the suzerain his father fought with was the dragon king himself.
Warm graphics, similar to picture books
Many of the elements that appear on the screen, from the characters in the story to the backgrounds, were hand-drawn by the designers. Enjoy detailed graphics, like the depths of the forest and the feeling of soft light throughout the story. Many unique characters will also appear. You will surely find someone you like.
How to enter a picture book
The scenario of this adventure is a somewhat mysterious world inhabited by monsters. Go on an adventure where plants and trees sway and small animals move. With a story told through narration read aloud, pleasant music and a fairytale-like setting, you will feel as if you really have entered a picture book.
If the usual pattern is followed, the game should be officially announced on February 25th.
