AQUAPLUS representative director Naoya Shimokawa announced on Twitter on Saturday that the company's Utawarerumono : Mask of Truth ( Utawarerumono : Futari no Hakuoro ) game is getting an anime adaptation.

Utawarerumono : Mask of Truth is the last game in the Utawarerumono trilogy. Atlus describes the story:

Chaos has taken hold of the land in Mask of Truth as a conniving general has unlawfully seized the throne of the mighty Yamato Empire. The only ones that stand in his way are a couple of familiar faces who must rally different kingdoms together and fight against the powerful Imperial army. An 80+ hours long visual novel/SRPG experience awaits as you'll get close with a new cast of colorful characters, fight in numerous exciting engagements with an enhanced battle system, explore intriguing new lands, and more.

The game launched in North America and Europe on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita in September 2017. The game shipped in Japan for PlayStation 3, PS4, and PS Vita in September 2016.
