Back to the Dawn is a suspense-driven prison break RPG developed by Metal Head Games, an indie game studio based in Shanghai. The title has received numerous game awards around the world.
The game features a wide array of memorable characters, including 47 inmates, prison guards, and allies operating outside the prison. For the Nintendo Switch™ 2 / Nintendo Switch™ and PlayStation®5 versions released by CLE, not only have the subtitle languages been further refined, but brand-new Japanese and Chinese character voice acting has also been recorded. The two protagonists will be voiced in Japanese by Shugo Nakamura, who plays Thomas the Fox (known for roles such as Ryota Miyagi in THE FIRST SLAM DUNK), and Yasuhiro Mamiya, who plays Bob the Panther (known for roles such as Jacob Kowalski in the Fantastic Beasts film series).
