Once Upon a Time in Japan gets a website
While more and more adventures are coming from Japan these days, independent American developer Abborado Studios is preparing to give us one in Japan. Or three games, to be precise, in 17th century Japan at that. As work continues on Earth, the first of three installments of Once Upon a Time in Japan, Abborado has just announced the launch of its official website.
The home page of the new website alone offers a teasing glimpse into the unique cultural flavour of the games, but the site also includes new images and character information that help lay the groundwork for the upcoming series. Among the characters introduced is Zenjiro, the 43-year old samurai now quietly and peacefully raising his family after many long years of civil war in Japan.
Unfortunately for him, "Zenjiro discovers the forces of nature can cut as deeply as any katana, and without a shred of remorse. A survivor by circumstance, not only must he explore the province to find others; he has to search his own soul for answers. Along the way he will realize that peace has a price, and in a land ruled by the military for four centuries, there are those who have come to rely on the very wars they fought to exterminate."
Once Upon a Time in Japan: Earth is currently scheduled for release late this year.
