Producer Utawarerumono: Itsuwari no Kamen (Utawarerumono: The False Mask), was because the second and third games in the series are being produced simultaneously.
The second game is now slated for a September 24 release for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation Vita in Japan. Regular versions will retail for 6,800 yen (around US$56) and a edition will retail for 9,800 yen (around US$81). The producer also promised that the third game will be released within one-and-a-half to two years after the release of the second.
The main cast includes:
Keiji Fujiwara as Haku. Kuon saved him and gave him a name. He has lost most of his memories, and his origins are unclear.
Risa Taneda as Kuon. A doctor with ears and tail like an animal's. Separated from her homeland, she encounters Haku while traveling along leisurely.
The official website for Utawarerumono: Itsuwari no Kamen also announced additional cast for the game on Friday. Several actors will be returning from the first Utawarerumono game: Daisuke Namikawa (Benawi). However, none of the cast have character names attached.
Other new cast include: Nozomi Yamamoto.
Shimokawa will produce the game, while Misato Mitsumi and Amazuyu will design the characters.
Famitsu teases the game's story:
When I came to, I realized I was standing in the middle of a vast, snowy plain I knew nothing of. I didn't know how I got there. And to add to that, I couldn't anything, not even my name. I stood there, dumbfounded at my absurd situation. But then, as if to spite me further, a gigantic monster suddenly appeared, a insect-like creature that began to bear down on me. I tried desperately to run, but it cornered me into a hopeless situation. It was then that the girl appeared. Her name was Kuon. It was this beautiful girl, who bore an animal's ears and tail, that saved my life.
The adventure simulation game takes place in a world where people have animal ears and tails, and rival generals battle for supremacy. In the original game, the player commanded units in tactical combat, while also progressing the story through dialogue with the characters.
released the PS3 fighting game Aquapazza in November 2013. The game contained characters from the original Utawarerumono game, alongside other characters from the AQUAPLUS and Leaf game library.
