Level Infinite and Hotta Studio has announced that their next collaboration event with the massive Evangelion multimedia franchise will see Rei join their open-world MMORPG Tower of Fantasy on 28 March 2024. This is not just a random character appearance, but will have a recruitable Simulacrum form made available to players.
Rei Ayanami is the exclusive pilot of EVA-00. Traveling from another dimension, she piloted her EVA to travel through space and time to arrive at Vera. Solitary, indifferent, and with an unusual calmness about her, Rei is largely a mystery to most she meets in battle. In the face of the Angel invasion in Vera, Rei fought side by side with Shinji, Asuka, and the people of Vera, playing a crucial role in defeating the Angels.
Rei, a Frost-Volt simulacrum, wields a special-made weapon, Salvation, whose energy arrows are key in defeating her enemies. Salvation is a prototype bow made by the Mirroria Department of Science and Technology just for Rei.
This news comes following the release of another key Evengelion character, Asuka Shikinami, being made available as a simulacrum alongside her limited weapon: Spear of Longinus.
