Exclusive Japan-Only RPG Launches Tomorrow

Emberstoria, a new strategy RPG from Square Enix, launches in Japan on November 27th. Set in the world of Purgatory, players resurrect ancient warriors called Embers to combat monstrous threats. The game boasts a classic Square Enix style: a dramatic storyline, impressive visuals, and a large voice cast (over 40 actors). While initially a Japan-only release, its potential global launch is uncertain.

Recent news of Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent's operational transfer to NetEase raises questions about Square Enix's mobile strategy. Emberstoria's release could be a key indicator of their future plans. A straightforward global launch seems unlikely, but not impossible, particularly if NetEase is involved. The game's eventual international availability could reveal much about Square Enix's mobile gaming direction.
