Black Rock Shooter mobile game confirmed for global release

Black Rock Shooter fans can rejoice as the mobile game has been confirmed for a global release! However, this also comes with a little downside. The mobile game, Black Rock Shooter FRAGMENT, as its known, will be launching in Japan Autumn 2022, but the global release will be staggered to 2023, as confirmed by its official Twitter.

The game is part of the franchise’s tenth anniversary celebrations, spawning from an illustration by huke. It’s seen plenty of merchandise and anime, with a new anime adaptation, DAWNFALL, set to air 3 April 2022. Fans should be able to expect it on international streaming platforms at some point, which have not been clarified on the English Black Rock Shooter portal.

Meanwhile, the staff listed for the game project has been helpfully provided in English and roman letters, which includes:

• Scenario / script writer: Ichiro Sakaki, Okina Kamino
• Design direction: huke
• Teaser visual: Rui Tomono
• Logo design: Hiroto Sugawara

The game’s story will take place in the 22nd century, where you will have a fateful encounter with a girl whose eyes burn with blue flame as you begin to fight back against some hostile force. There’s no hint of what the game would actually be like for now, so you’ll have to stay tuned for that.
