Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii is teaming up with Blue Lock manga author Muneyuki Kaneshiro for a new Nintendo Switch game destined to ruin your friendships. An👍d that sounds like a blast.
Japanese game developer Any Inc. is working with ArtePiazza to develop th🍌e new dark fantasy multiplayer game, tentatively called Reincarnation Game, whi✱ch is based on the popular Japanese board game Sugoroku. No gameplay or even images of the game have surfaced so far, but in a machine-translated , it's billed as "a game that will definitely cause conflict between friends."
It's not exactly crystal clear how gameplay will work, but Any Inc. says it takes place in the afterlife, and the goal of all players is to reincarn♐ate, but the only way to do that is "by knocking each other down." Killing each other, essentially, which you can do by using Karma to "꧑sabotage or betray other players... The closer you get to victory, the more your friendships will be destroyed."
Horii is working on the ga🔴me as an advisor, whil✨e Kaneshiro is concept planner. Any Inc's Ayaka Sato is game director.
"I still can't believe I was able to create a game with such dream🧸 people as Horii-san and Kaneshiro-san," Sato said in a statement that was machine-translated from the original Japanese. "We will continue to develop 'Rebirth Game' with the aim of making it a 'messy and awesome game' that evꦓeryone can laugh at, sometimes fight with, and still think 'I want to play it again.'"
Horii said he decided to join the project simply because he found it "very interesting" and original. "I'm looking forward to maki🔯ng a game that everyone can laugh at and have fun with, and that they'll want to play again and again," he said.
Going off the fairly barebones marketing materials at this point, I'm going to say Reincarnation Game is still very early in development. That said, Any Inc. did peg it for release in 2026, which almost surely means it's coming to Switch 2, although that isn't made explicitly clear.
After earning an English degree from ASU, I worked as a corporate copy editor while freelancing for places like SFX Magazine, Screen Rant, Game Revolution, and MMORPG on the side. I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the sit☂e's weste🍃rn regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
