Today, during a livestream from Tokyo Game Show, Too Kyo Games and Akatsuki finally had an extensive reveal for their new project Tribe Nine.
The game was originally revealed all the way back in February 2020 and teased once more a couple of days ago.
First of all, we learn that the project will include a mobile 3D action JRPG and an anime TV series.
The story is set in Neo Tokyo in 20XX, a place in which 23 different tribes associated with the city’s districts are locked in conflict in which victory and defeat are decided by “Extreme Baseball” (XB) matches. Those battles happen across the entire city.
Besides Danganronpa creator Kazutaka Kodaka for Too Kyo Games and Akatsuki’s Shuuhei Yamaguchi, more creators are involved in the Too Kyo Games side, including Zero Escape creator Kotaro Uchikoshi and more.
The music will be composed by Masafumi Takada while the art is by Rui Komatsuzaki, both of whom are known for their work on the Danganronpa series.
The TV Series will be animated by Liden Films and directed by Yu Aoki. It’ll air in Japan in January 2022.
You can check out the Tribe Nine game trailer below alongside a few gameplay screenshots, while the second video is a trailer of the anime. The third showcases the various tribes and characters.
