Pocky & Rocky Reshrined will launch for PlayStation 4 and Switch on April 21 in Japan, publisher Natsume Atari announced in the latest issue of Weekly Famitsu.
The January 13-due issue features a new preview of the game, including a look at the Yoshitoo Asari-illustrated characters and new gameplay modes.
A western release of Pocky & Rocky Reshrined is also planned for the spring.
Here is an overview of the game, via western publisher Natsume:
Pocky & Rocky follows the adventures of a young Shinto shrine maiden named Pocky and her companion, Rocky the raccoon, as they attempt to save a group of creatures known as the Nopino Goblins. Gameplay takes place from a top-down perspective and features both single-player and cooperative modes.
Pocky & Rocky Reshrined is a sequel to Pocky & Rocky, known in Japan as the action-shooting game series Kiki Kaikai, which first appeared as an arcade game from Taito Corporation in 1986 and is being developed under license from Taito Corporation.
Thanks, Famitsu.
