by

Aquaplus recently released new details about , including information on additional characters and gameplay features like battles and towns. The game’s website has also been updated with an English version.

Okay, so the latest update showed off five new characters! We’ve got everyone from Shantuura, who’s like the spiritual leader of Arva Shulan, to Amatsuki, a ship captain who sounds like a bit of a rogue. And as for gameplay, it looks like Shunya, Oshtor, and Mikazuchi are getting some unique combat moves – I’m really excited to see those in action!

The game Utawarerumono: Past and Present Rediscovered will launch globally on PC via Steam on May 27th. In Japan, it will also be released on PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch on the same day.

Characters

  • Amatsuki (VA: Hitomi Ueda)
    The captain of a ship of smugglers.
    Her crewmen address her as “Mistress” as a sign of affection and respect.
     
  • Chicocoa (VA: Akane Fujita)
    A young woman from Arva Shulan.
    She seems to have some connection to Shunya…
     
  • Shantuura (VA: Kikuko Inoue)
    The title given to the spiritual leader of Arva Shulan.
    The current Shantuura is determined to do whatever it takes to give her people a real future.
     
  • Varga (VA: Hiroki Maeda)
    One of the Shantuura’s vassals.
    A hot-blooded warrior who loves the thrill of battle and respects strength above all else.
    He’s been sent on a mission to unearth some kind of ancient artefact.
     
  • Narakfala (VA: Manabu Muraji)
    One of the Shantuura’s vassals, mainly serving as her advisor.
    With Mayacowl’s demise, he has also assumed the role of Wordsmith.










Battle Features

  • Combat Skills & Okugi
    Combat Skills are more powerful than normal attacks, but require MP to use. Each character has their own selection of skills to fulfill different roles in battle, including attacking, recovery, buffs and debuffs, and summoning. As the story progresses, you’ll get access to Okugi skills while in Overzeal. These consume even more MP than Combat Skills, but are powerful enough to turn the tide of a tough battle in your favor if used wisely.
     

  • Shunya uniquely utilizes Soulstones during combat. She gains one Soulstone each turn, and these stones power her skills. These skills are valuable for boosting allies, hindering enemies, and overcoming challenging opponents.

  • Oshtor and Mikazuchi can now harness the power of their akuruka to transform into powerful Keshin forms and unlock new, incredibly strong skills. While in Overzeal mode, use the “Assume Keshin Form” command to initiate the transformation, which will last for a limited number of turns. Instead of costing a fixed amount of MP, skills used while in Keshin form consume a percentage of your total MP.

    Examples:

    • Oshtor’s Keshin skill, Frozen Demise (AOE Water-element Magecraft attack):
      Consumes 16% of max MP. Massive power. Inflicts Freeze on target. Greater Morale reduction against targets on smaller Action Rings.
    • Mikazuchi’s Keshin skill, Rakshasa (Non-elemental physical attack):
      Consumes 20% of max MP. Hits 2 times with strong-to-massive power. More powerful against targets with higher Morale.








Town Features

  • Requests
    Check the Notice Board while in a town to see if anyone needs your help. You can view a request’s content and available rewards on the board, then speak to the client directly to accept it. Completing a request will earn you experience points as well as items, so consider giving them a try when you need that extra bit of experience to level up. You can also visit Yuuri in his room in Oshtor’s mansion for extra rewards after completing a certain number of requests. Think of them as a payment from the Imperial Court for keeping Yamato’s subjects safe and happy!
     
  • Investment and Fortification
    Materials can be invested in the Imperial Capital’s Equipment Shop to expand its lineup. In this game, investment materials are treated as a different category than materials used to level up Halu. Invest enough in weapons, body armor, or leg armor to improve the quality of wares offered in that category. You can also use sen (money) to fortify your existing equipment. Fortifying will improve a piece of equipment’s stats, and may also give it additional effects and abilities.
     

  • Recollection Shrines are mysterious places dedicated to the divine beast Nuko, found all over the world. Touching one will completely restore your health and magic points. You can find these shrines in towns, out in the open fields, and even inside dungeons.
