We know, you are still recovering from the fact sun Crest it’s real, but we have a little more Platinum news to share.
The company’s fifth announcement has been revealed as the new action title, The world of demons. Unfortunately, it is an Apple Arcade exclusive. It is also the first PlatinumGames mobile title.
“World of Demons is an action game with a magnificent visual style inspired by the Japanese wooden prints ukiyo-e and sumi-e. Players will take on the role of the samurai Onimaru as he explores beautiful environments fighting and recruiting yokai and oni, the spirits and monsters of Japanese folklore “.
If the name sounds familiar to you, according to producer Koji Tanaka, it’s because it was previously announced as a free version in 2018. Then the game was to be released by Japanese mobile phone company, DeNA.
It’s now “very different” from the original ad and has been redesigned from “basically” for Apple’s gaming service. Here’s what Platinum boss Atsushi Inaba said 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. Other than that, it’s a completely different game. We had the opportunity to launch the game for Apple Arcade and, instead of making some small adjustments to the new platform, we decided to take this opportunity to rebuild the game from the ground up. “
Since it’s an exclusive, don’t expect this game to appear on consoles anytime soon. Having said that, would you want Platinum to bring World of Demons (or something similar) to the Switch? Tell us in the comments.
