Shueisha Games Reveals Hoshin Engi Roguelite for Switch 2, PS5, Steam
Shueisha is taking a 1990s Weekly Shonen Jump property that already ran through two anime and a musical and handing it to a roguelite studio, with Fujisaki drawing new leads rather than adapting the existing story.
Reporting from 1 source: Anime News Network.
Shueisha Games and LASTWONDER announced Hoshin Engi Re:surrection during Wednesday's Nintendo Direct. The roguelite is based on Ryu Fujisaki's Hoshin Engi manga and is planned for Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and Steam in 2027. It is set after the manga and follows Toshin and Chuechue, new characters drawn by Fujisaki, who use mythic weapons called Paope to explore dungeons.
The game is set after the events of the manga, so the adaptation does not retell Fujisaki's story. Players control Toshin and use mythic weapons called Paope to explore dungeons and recruit allies, and the release will carry English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese language support. Shueisha Games and LASTWONDER put the title in front of a Nintendo Direct audience on Wednesday, with a 2027 window on Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and Steam.
