Square Enix's Emberstoria Debuts in Japan
Emberstoria, a new mobile strategy RPG from Square Enix, launches in Japan on November 27th. Set in the world of Purgatory, players resurrect ancient warriors ("Embers") to combat monstrous threats. The game boasts a classic Square Enix style: a dramatic, almost melodramatic storyline, stunning visuals, and a diverse roster of characters to recruit. Players build their own flying city, Anima Arca, and experience a rich narrative voiced by over 40 actors.
While initially a Japan-only release, the game's potential global launch is uncertain. Recent news of Square Enix transferring Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent's operations to NetEase raises questions about the company's future mobile strategy. Emberstoria's release could offer clues. It might remain Japan-exclusive, or NetEase could bring it to the West. Regardless, a global release won't be simple, but it's not out of the question. The path to a global launch could significantly illuminate Square Enix's mobile gaming plans.
Japan frequently releases unique mobile games that rarely reach international markets. For those envious of this exclusive title, exploring our list of the best Japanese mobile games we wish were globally available might help ease the wait.
