The latest issue of Weekly Famitsu has revealed that Hachikuma Games and Onigiri Seisakusho-developed Susanoh: Japanese Mythology RPG will launch on July 22 in Japan and will be published by Mebius.
In an interesting development, while the game was previously announced for both PlayStation 4 and Switch, Weekly Famitsu makes no mention of a PlayStation 4 version. In fact, the official website that mentioned the PlayStation 4 version on April 10 has also removed mention of it.
Amaterasu’s younger brother Susanoh was banished from Heaven due to his arrogant behavior. But before this, Susanoh showed himself to be something of a hero god in Ashiwara Nakatsukoku, such as when he defeated Yamata no Orochi and saved a girl named Kushinada who was to be sacrificed. As a hero god, Susanoh married Kushinada and ruled Izumo no Kuni into great prosperity, before finishing his role and retiring to a long sleep.
Over 100 years have passed since then. A messenger arrives from Heaven who wakes Susanoh from his slumber. Is this a messenger to inform him of an upheaval in Ashiwara Nakatsukoku? Is a battle between the gods of Heaven about to begin?
Will you be getting the game?
