The game is a new action title featuring characters from the smartphone action RPG 'Shironeko Project NEW WORLD'S,' but it is not a port-it is an original work built for consoles. Over 50 playable characters from the series appear. During battle, players encounter allies and can choose to add them to the party or strengthen existing characters. The combination of allied characters triggers 'Character Links,' which evolve actions and apply buffs. Original characters unique to this title are also planned. The game supports single-player and up to four players in local multiplayer. The announcement was made during the 'Shironeko Project' 12th anniversary live stream, and a repost campaign is running on the official X account until July 17. Colopl first announced a Switch version of Shironeko Project in 2018, but that project was delayed for review. This new title revives that console effort after years of uncertainty.","whyItMatters":"After an eight-year gap that included a project review and a lawsuit settlement, Colopl is delivering a console Shironeko game as a new original work rather than a port, suggesting the company sees stronger demand for the brand on dedicated hardware.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe game was revealed during a live stream marking the 12th anniversary of the smartphone original. Supervisor Kakuda, whose full name was given as Ryoji Tsunoda in some reports, described the title as \u0026#39;born from the hope that the world of Shironeko will continue to expand infinitely.\u0026#39; He noted that the core appeal-chibi SD characters running free and unleashing flashy skills-has been preserved, while the new character-collection action design encourages players to gather many allies and experiment with combinations. The price remains undecided. The announcement trailer is available on YouTube. Colopl first teased a Switch version of Shironeko Project in 2018 under the tentative title \u0026#39;Shironeko New Project,\u0026#39; with a planned 2020 release. That project was suspended after a review of the project content, and in August 2021 a lawsuit between Nintendo and Colopl over the smartphone version ended with a settlement of 3.3 billion yen. The new title is the first concrete console release since that period. A repost campaign on the official X account offers ten winners a 5,000 yen QUO Card featuring the key visual, with entries accepted until July 17.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Colopl finally announced a proper console Shironeko game after 8 years.
