Famitsu teased that this week’s issue of the magazine features a new game by Nippon Ichi Software, titled Destiny Connect. The game is an RPG for PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch. Moreover, it already has a release date. It’s scheduled on February 28th, 2019, in Japan.
Judging from the first teaser screenshots which you can find below, the game features humans and robots living together and is a 3D RPG. The battle system is turn-based and may feature tactics RPG elements like most Nippon Ichi games. More details like the game’s world, characters, battle system and all will be revealed in this week’s Famitsu, which releases on Thursday midnight JST. In other words, in a bit more than 24 hours.
The magazine will also feature comments by Destiny Connect director Yoshihiko Toda and game scenarist Jun Yokota, from studio Syupro-DX. In the past, Syupro-DX developed The Longest Five Minutes along with Nippon Ichi.
More JRPGs are always great in my book, so I’m looking forward to this. It’s also good to see they announced the game when it’s quite advanced in development and close to release. We won’t have to wait long for it. Hopefully, Destiny Connect will come west as well. Most Nippon Ichi games nowadays do, so I think there will be a western announcement at some point.
