Utawarerumono: Past and Present Rediscovered will have the return of Raiko and new gameplay systems
Aquaplus has published a new information batch for Utawarerumono: Past and Present Rediscovered. The company has also updated the game's official website, which also includes its formal English version, with the new content.
The new wave revealed more characters who will play key roles in this game's story. While most of them—Raiko, Ashta, and Nava—return from the prequel Monochrome Mobius, the list also newly introduces Shunrai as Raiko's mother and Mikazuki's stepmother. A couple of new gameplay systems are also introduced with the reveals of Area Conquest mode and Halu's ATF Program.
You can find the newly published descriptions and screenshots right below. Utawarerumono: Past and Present Rediscovered will be available worldwide for PC via Steam on May 27, with Japan also getting additional console releases for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2.
New Gameplay Systems
Area Conquest
The field is divided up into different areas, which can be conquered by defeating a certain number of enemies within them. You may also have to fight powerful enemies known as Area Rulers to complete the conquest.
Once an area is conquered, you can quick kill enemies with a field attack. Enemies defeated this way will yield the same experience and rewards as if you'd fought them normally, making it a great way to level up or collect resources faster.
Halu's ATF Program
Halu now has access to ATF, or Armored Trance Form.
His attributes in this form change depending on the body type you use. Will you play it safe with the all-rounder, or focus on fast attacks to overwhelm your enemy? Experiment and pick whatever's right for the situation!
