A third-person action RPG, Keiji Inafune and his team at Comcept have partnered with Studio 4℃ to create a universe that pays homage to both Japanese anime and classic Japanese game design, all while seeking to be a sort of spiritual successor to the Mega Man Legends series.Red Ash takes place in a world where humans are almost extinct as a result of a large-scale robot world war. Class structure has been rigidly divided into the haves and the have-nots, and many of the surviving humans hunt now-feral robots for their Lost Technology. The story of Red Ash: Indelible Legend focuses on Beck, Tyger, Call, and Gofer, four characters who make their livelihood by obtaining this same Lost Technology.Studio 4℃ and Comcept have agreed to create both a game and an anime series that will contain similar content, but will also run parallel to each other in order to allow for both teams to execute on their respective creative visions.A concurrent Kickstarter for the Red Ash anime series has launched alongside the game project, and seeks $150,000 in development funds.
