More characters featured in Utawarerumono: Past and Present Rediscovered include Karulau and Touka

Aquaplus has updated the Japanese official website for Utawarerumono: Past and Present Rediscovered (originally known in Japan as Shiro he no Michishirube - Guidepost to the White). The company has also shared a public press release summarizing the new update, which primarily consists of biographies for more characters in the game.

Most of the characters shown here are returning from prior Utawarerumono releases. Karulau and Touka had also appeared in the earlier Utawarerumono trilogy that chronologically takes place after this game, while Shunya's talking plushie Haru makes its return from Monochrome Mobius: Rights and Wrongs Forgotten.

However, while Haru and Touka still have their respective voice actors (Kentaro Tone & Kaya Miyake) reprising the roles, Karulau's original voice actress Atsuko Tanaka already passed away in 2024. Kikuko Inoue shall therefore provide new voiceovers for Karulau in Past and Present Rediscovered.

The batch also includes a brand-new character in Fuyu, who will be voiced in Japanese by Yuka Keicho. She is described as a woman who recites a poem while traveling around various nations. However, Aquaplus also teases that the poem may already be familiar to Oshtor and the others. One of the in-game screenshots also notes that Fuyu can recognize Munechika's voice when the latter visits her.

Utawarerumono: Past and Present Rediscovered will be available in Japan for PlayStation 5, Switch 2, and PC via Steam on May 28. Shiravune will also release the English localization for PC via Steam simultaneously worldwide. But while the Steam version's release time is set to May 28 at 03:00 UTC or 12:00/noon JST, time zone differences mean those in the Americas will technically get to see it released 'a day earlier' on May 27.
