From the developers Numskull Games and Chunsoft, Inc, Re:Zero − Starting Life in Another World: The Prophecy of the Throne is making its way to Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4, along with a Badge and Collectors Edition coming to Europe.
Re:ZERO – Starting Life in Another World is a Japanese light novel series, illustrated by Shinichirou Otsuka, and written by Tappei Nagatsuki.
The series was so popular it even became an extremely popular anime, with a second season geared to release next month.
The story takes place in the world where Subaru’s new life has begun. An emissary sent by the royal castle suddenly appears with the unfortunate new that the royal selection has been postponed, the event that decides the next rule of the Kingdom of Lugunica.
Subaru and his friends are stirred into action, and they return to the royal capital only to find that a sixth candidate has claimed their stake for the throne. This goes against a prophecy from the Dragon Stone, which prophecizes that only five would be chosen.
With one candidate being an imposter, suspicions are immediately set upon one woman in particular: Emilia. What answers lie beyond the mysterious web of assassinations, betrayal, and conspiracies?
Features of this title include a brand new Re:ZERO storyline that is fully supervised by the series author Tappei Nagatsuki for quality, along with brand new characters designed by Shinichirou Otsuka.
