Let’s get ready, ready, let’s get ready, ready…
Following on from themysterious rating we reported last week,Shantaedeveloper WayForward and anime game gods Arc System Works have officially confirmed they are working together on a new entry in the face-smashingRiver Cityseries.
Details are incredibly scant onRiver City Girls, the title of this exciting new project in, but the amazing talent that makes up these two developers all but guarantees that something wicked this way comes. “This is a really wonderful opportunity,” said WayForward’s “Tyrannical Overlord” Voldi Way. “Arc System Works is an extremely talented gaming company that we’ve admired for many years, and we are incredibly happy to be working with them. This new take on theRiver Cityuniverse is going to be a lot of fun.”
Arc Sys, who are the current owners of theRiver City/Kunio-kunlicense, are equally pleased. “Everyone here is pleasantly surprised by the way the River City series is turning out,” said Producer Takomi Kaneko. “I think theRiver Cityseries has a reputation as a 2D fighting-action game with a lot of male fans, but thenRiver City Girlsappears! WayForward’s enthusiasm for a female protagonist won me over.”
This is now pretty much my most anticipated video game. Well,afterShantae 5, of course. In fact, surely the half-genie hero and her pals would make great hidden characters! More details onRiver City Girlswill be revealed later this year.Arc System Works team with WayForward for River City Girls[Nintendeal
