Square Enix has just posted a new trailer for The Irregular at Magic High School Reloaded Memory, confirming a launch in 2022. This free-to-play game for the Android and iOS platforms, as the name suggests, will be based on the eponymous series.
To recap, the story of revolves around Tatsuya Shiba, the main protagonist who acts as a bodyguard to his sister Miyuki Shiba who is a candidate to succeed the leadership of the Yotsuba clan, one of the Ten Master Clans that govern Japan’s magicians. They enroll into First High School which segregates its students based on their magical abilities. Miyuki is enrolled as a first course student and is viewed as one of the best students, while Tatsuya is in the second course and considered to be magically inept. However, Tatsuya’s technical knowledge, combat abilities, and unique magic techniques cause people to view him as an irregular to the school’s standardized rankings.
Users will get to control an assortment of the series’ signature characters to engage in real-time magic battles. The selling feature here is the Reloaded Mode, although it is just a fancy way of increasing the combat prowess of the cast for a limited time. We are also shown a new visual hinting at the Hida Ruins Arc from the main story, and will see the game dig deep into the origins of the Relics.
