Shibuya Action RPG REYNATIS Slated for PS5, PS4 Launch Later This Year in the West | Push Square

FuRyu’s compelling Shibuya-set action RPG outing REYNATIS has attracted a lot of interest since being announced for the PS5 and PS4 in Japan last week, but many were waiting on confirmation of a Western release. Following this week’s full-length trailer, that’s now come courtesy of NIS America, who’s signed on as publisher in North America and Europe.

There’s no specific date just yet, but the firm says the title will feature Japanese language audio and English text when it arrives on these shores, and it’s also adding a PC version. The adventure – helmed by a number of high-profile Square Enix alumni – will launch in Japan on 25th July, so you’ll be waiting a little while for localised edition.

“Seeking freedom through strength, the wizard Marin heads to Shibuya, where he meets Sari, an officer of the MEA, an organization dedicated to keeping wizards under control,” the blurb teases. “Conceal your magic to explore the city as a regular civilian and shop or take on quests, or use your explosive powers to reach new locations and battle those who stand in your way.”

@SlySnake0407 no, you're right, but I mean we still play 16-bit games in 2024 and praise them for their graphics.

Not for me personally. Not talking about graphics btw. Just genuinely doesn't look interesting at all. The animation work during combat is stiff as hell. CRYMACHINA suffered with the same issues as well. They want to be action games, but they lack the fluidity of a well crafted action game. Anything FuRyu makes is generally
