South Korea-based developer Hammer Entertainment has just announced a new RPG based on Inuyasha, the legendary fantasy manga authored by Takahashi Rumiko. Going with the working title Inuyasha – The Awakening Story, the game marks the first entry by the series into the mobile space.
First, a quick synopsis of the source material courtesy of MyAnimeList:
Based on the Shogakukan award-winning manga of the same name, InuYasha follows Kagome Higurashi, a fifteen-year-old girl whose normal life ends when a demon drags her into a cursed well on the grounds of her family’s Shinto shrine. Instead of hitting the bottom of the well, Kagome ends up 500 years in the past during Japan’s violent Sengoku period with the demon’s true target, a wish-granting jewel called the Shikon Jewel, reborn inside of her.
After a battle with a revived demon accidentally causes the sacred jewel to shatter, Kagome enlists the help of a young hybrid dog-demon/human named Inuyasha to help her collect the shards and prevent them from falling into the wrong hands. Joining Kagome and Inuyasha on their quest are the orphan fox-demon Shippo, the intelligent monk Miroku, and the lethal demon slayer Sango. Together, they must set aside their differences and work together to find the power granting shards spread across feudal Japan and deal with the threats that arise.
In any case, users will be able to follow the journey of Inuyasha and key characters from the franchise, such as Kagome, Miroku, Sango and Shippo. As an action RPG, raid and PVP battles are the standard inclusions, so there’s that. As to what else there is, particularly the possible single player campaign, remains to be disclosed. The game is open for pre-registration, so be sure to get to it as there is the usual early bird sign up goodies.
