The game's anime adaptation, Utawarerumono: The False Faces, debuted in October 2015. Crunchyroll streamed the series as it aired in Japan, and Sentai Filmworks released the series on home video.
Utawarerumono: Mask of Truth launched in North America and Europe on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita in September 2017. The game shipped in Japan for PS3, PS4, and PS Vita in September 2016. The game is getting an anime adaptation.
Utawarerumono: Prelude to the Fallen is a remake of the original Utawarerumono: Chiriyukumono e no Komoriuta game. NIS America will release the game digitally for PS4 and PS Vita in early 2020. The game launched for PS4 and PS Vita in Japan in April 2018.
