New Muv-Luv game Project Immortal Gets Development Update; Collaboration with Another Game Teased

Today, during a livestream from aNCHOR’s headquarters in Tokyo, new information about the upcoming Muv-Luv game code-named Project Immortal were shared.

The details were shared on Famitsu.

We learn that the game’s development – if we consider a development roadmap from 0 to 10, is currently at about 2.5.

At the moment the team is working on the basics, for instance designing the game around the server in a way that even when the service is closed, it’ll be still playable offline. Another current area of development is data handling to reduce loading and startup time.

This kind of work is expected to be completed by the next Comiket, where the game will be exhibited. On top of that, 3D models will be overhauled to improve the visuals.

The development stage of the game that takes time is focused on the servers, while other parts are almost finished. Once the visual overhaul is finished, the team plans to start mass production of assets like 3D models, stages, and TSF pilot illustrations.

Asn additional bonus, the game’s creator Kitakuo has teased a collaboration with another game, which for now is a secret.

Project Immortal is in development for mobile platforms, and doesn’t have a release window for now.

It’s an action RPG with Diablo-like and Musou-style elements in which the player is prompted to pilot a TSF mecha and defeat giant hordes of BETA aliens from a top-down perspective. If you’re curious, you can take a look at prototype gameplay.
