Interview Tidbits

The game was originally planned for release between January and March, but it was moved to April to give it more breathing room.

A new title will be announced soon after this game’s release. From now on, they will be releasing related titles with good tempo.

The opening movie has been made high-resolution, but Suara’s “Kimi Dake no Tabiji” is still in place.

“Special Extended Mode” features background music from the Utawarerumono series’ games and anime selected to suit each scene.

The original background music has been completely rearranged, as have the opening and ending themes, and songs have been re-recorded.

There are no additional characters or episodes.

Thanks, Ryokutya2089.
