May 26, 2023
In the night from May 25th to 26th, 2023, the publisher Marvelous gave us a 30-minute presentation of the games that are currently being worked on or developed. Although the Marvelous Game Showcase was only broadcast in Japanese, there were some important announcements for international audiences.
The showcase started with Fashion Dreamer , a fashion game designed to encourage creativity, due out later this year . CEO Suminobu Sato then introduced two new working titles: Project Magia and Project Life is Game . Project Magia is a new RPG in collaboration with Fairy Tail author Hiro Mashima. Project Life is Game, on the other hand, is a life simulation with JRPG elements that aims to convey the feeling of anticipation.
But then came the interesting news. First images of a new Story of Seasons game have been revealed. The pictures show animals on a pasture as the seasons change. A multiplayer offshoot of Story of Seasons was also hinted at.
There was also a major update to Rune Factory : In addition to Rune Factory 6, a spin-off with the working title Rune Factory: Project Dragon is in development. While the sixth offshoot is located in a western region, Project Dragon is set to play in the east.
Last but not least, publisher Marvelous announced a sequel to the 2019 Nintendo Switch mech shooter Deamon X Machina . More than the title Deamon X Machina: Titanic Scion is not yet known.
