Today Honey Parade Games and Marvelous Entertainment announced a crossover between Shinobi Master: Senran Kagura New Link and the Ikki Tousen franchise.
To be more specific, the crossover is with the Ikki Tousen mobile game Extra Burst. This is just the latest of several collaborations, which isn’t surprising since the two franchises certainly have a lot in common.
The crossover will bring Chou’un Shiryu and Ryofu Housen to Senran Kagura New Link, and a couple of the Senran kagura ladies will also appear in Ikki Tousen: Extra Burst.
You can check out the trailer below and see for yourself what the crossover has in store.
If you’re not familiar with Shinobi Master Senran Kagura: New Link, it’s a gacha game currently available only in Japan for iOS, Android, and PC.
According to recent financial releases by Marvelous, the game is doing well despite being several years old.
Unfortunately, we haven’t heard anything about an English release over those years, and we probably shouldn’t hold our breath.
At this point, I’d normally start bemoaning the fact that we haven’t had a console game for the Senran Kagura series in years, but one is coming, even if it’s not from Marvelous and not part of the mainline series.
