Akatsuki and Too Kyo Games released another trailer of their upcoming mixed media project Tribe Nine, introducing one of the tribes showcased in the game.
The new trailer introduces the Shinagawa Tribe, its characters, and its theme song, “Revolving Overdrive.” The theme of the tribe is likely derived from the fact that Shinagawa is known as the location of many tech companies, including plenty of gaming giants like PlayStation, Bandai Namco, Sega, and more.
This follows previous trailers focusing on the Minato and Chiyoda Tribes, on the Adachi Tribe, on the Taito tribe, and on the Ota Tribe.
You can watch it below.
If you’re not familiar with Tribe Nine, it was originally revealed all the way back in February 2020 and teased once more a few weeks ago. 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.
