The team at Experience Inc. recently took to the stage during their tenth anniversary event at Akihabara to announce a new title they are working on titled “Yomi wo Saku Hana” (黄泉ヲ裂ク華). Being developed exclusively for the Xbox One at the present time, this title will not be a dungeon crawler, but a hack and slash game.
Not much information is currently known about the title, and the above preview trailer doesn’t provide many hints. What we do know however is that it is based in the same universe as Students of the Round, a dungeon-crawling RPG released by the company quite a few years ago in Japan. It is currently unknown whether or not Yomi wo Saku Hana or Students of the Round will ever be released outside of Japan.
Expect to hear more on this title in the lead-up to its Japanese launch in 2017.
This news complements another announcement by the company, with plans to release an updated version of Stranger of Sword City on July 21st 2016. This edition will include new character classes, new gameplay mechanics, additional events and more. Given that Stranger of Sword City was just launched in western markets, it is currently unknown if these improvements will be made available to us anytime soon.
