The trailer has English subtitles available with closed captions.

A demo of the game will launch on September 5. The game is slated for worldwide release this year.

The game is set in the land of Mizuho, and will center on the princes and princesses of three countries. The cast for the characters from the three countries includes:

Fuji-no-Kuni

Saori Hayami as Princess Kaguya

Haruka Yoshimura as Kaguya's sister Sakuya

• Mie Sonozaki as Amaterasu, Momotaro's mother and ruler of Hyūga-no-Kuni

Yumi Hara will also have a role in the game as Aoni (blue ogre), a character unaligned with any of the countries.

Kadokawa Games describes the game:

A history of Gods that no one knows.
A tactical RPG that depicts the conflict and surge of young heroes in ancient Japan.
An adventure that merges the world of Kojiki, Japan's oldest history book, and the fairy-tales of Japanese folklore.
The amazing saga of mighty heroes who fought bravely against their fate and the wrath of the Gods, has now been revealed.

The game's aesthetic will mix anime-inspired character designs and monster designs influenced by classical Japanese Yamato-e paintings:

Hi no Tori

Ōkami
