Today Arc System Works hosted a livestream from Tokyo Game Show, focusing on the Kunio -Kun/River City Franchise.
First of all, we take a look ay the recently-revealed “Kunio-kun no Sangokushida Yo Zen’in Shugo!” which translates as “It’s Kunio-kun Three Kingdoms: Everyone Gathered!”
We get the first trailer of the game, which focuses on the opening cutscene.
You can watch it below.
We also get to see the first gameplay. Set in the three kingdoms period, we see Kunio taking on the role of Guan Yu. The game is a hilarious comedy action game about surviving in a troubled world. Other characters appear as famous generals and events like the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the Battle of Red Cliffs are depicted with comedic action.
The basic gameplay is the typical side-scrolling familiar for the fans of the series, with various areas that unite to form a vast world. Besides battlefields, there are also towns and villages where you can meet people and shop.
You can watch it below.
Kunio-kun no Sangokushida Yo Zen’in Shugo! will launch in Japan in December 2021 for Nintendo Switch and in April 2022 for PS4 and PC. There is no indication of a possible western release for now.
Next is River City Girls 2, which also gets its own trailer and you can watch it below. The game is coming for Nintendo Switch, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC via Steam.
It’ll include Japanese voices, online co-op, new stages, and new actions.
