We know, you’re still recovering from the fact Sol Cresta it’s real, but we have a little more Platinum news to share.
The company’s fifth game announcement has now been revealed as the new action title, Demon World. Unfortunately, it is an Apple Arcade exclusive. It is also PlatinumGames’ first mobile title.
“World of Demons is an action game with a magnificent visual style inspired by Japanese woodcut prints ukiyo-e and sumi-e. Players will take on the role of samurai Onimaru as he explores beautiful environments by fighting and recruiting yokai and oni, the spirits and monsters of Japanese folklore. “
If the name sounds familiar, according to the producer, Koji Tanaka, it is because it was previously announced as a free release in 2018. At that time, the game was supposed to be published by the Japanese mobile company DeNA.
It is now “very different” from the original ad and has been redesigned from “zero” for Apple’s game service. Here’s what Platinum boss Atsushi Inaba said about it during a chat with IGN:
“The graphic style, the main character design and the concept of including yokai inspired by traditional legends are the same as before. Furthermore, it is a completely different game. We had the opportunity to launch the game for the Apple Arcade and, instead of just making some minor adjustments to the new platform, we decided to take this opportunity to rebuild the game from scratch. “
As this is an exclusive game, don’t expect this game to appear on consoles anytime soon. In saying that, would you like to see Platinum bring World of Demons – or something like that – to the Switch? Tell us in the comments.
