Upcoming Indie Game 'Tsurugi Hime' by Yosuke Shilkawa Set for Early Access in 2026

Introduction to 'Tsurugi Hime'

The gaming world is eagerly anticipating the launch of 'Tsurugi Hime', a novel indie game spearheaded by Yosuke Shilkawa, the creative mind behind the popular title 'Fate/Grand Order'. The game is set to debut in early access in 2026, with the developers at Fahrenheit 213 Inc., based in Shibuya, Tokyo, unveiling a tantalizing trailer on their official YouTube channel and Steam store page.

In a clever unveiling, the game presents brand new key visuals illustrated by the renowned character designer, Kuroboshi Kouhaku, who has worked on popular series such as 'Summon Night', 'Kino's Journey', and 'SAO Alternative Gun Gale Online'. Additionally, the talented composer Takeharu Ishimoto, known for his work in titles like 'The World Ends with You', 'Kingdom Hearts', and 'Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-', has been enlisted to create the game’s soundtrack.

What is 'Tsurugi Hime'?

Set to immerse players in a richly crafted world, 'Tsurugi Hime' is an action RPG that emphasizes player choice and narrative depth. The premise revolves around a decisive battle slated to occur in 100 days, and how players navigate their time leading up to this moment is entirely up to them. The game tasks players with balancing combat, character development, exploration, and an engaging story, all while incorporating elements such as crafting one's own fate.

Gameplay Mechanics

Choose Your Path in 100 Days

As players embark on their adventure, they are faced with a crucial decision: how to spend each day leading up to the fateful showdown. Whether to engage in battles to grow stronger, challenge formidable foes head-on, or take a leisurely approach, the freedom to define their journey rests in the players’ hands. Every choice impacts the character's fate and paves the route to victory. As the player, you will need to discover the optimal daily routine to tactically 'craft' your success.

Continuous Decision-Making

The game progresses day by day, with each round presenting various challenges that test the player’s judgment. While time is short, players must consistently evaluate their actions and make critical decisions that could include taking risks for potential rewards or navigating dangerous negotiations. The choices players make shape their protagonist's destiny, making every action integral to achieving the best possible outcome.

Rewrite Your Destiny with Sword Power

One of the unique features of 'Tsurugi Hime' is the protagonist's ability to alter fate through a special power associated with a sword. Players can manipulate items, erase enemies from existence, or even rewind time to earlier days, offering a sweeping range of abilities that seem almost 'cheat-like'. Mastering this power will be pivotal in crafting an extraordinary destiny within the constrained timeline of 100 days.

Exciting Promotions and Campaigns

To celebrate the announcement and engage with the community, Fahrenheit 213 is hosting a promotional campaign where participants can win Amazon gift cards worth 10,000 yen. By following the official Twitter account @Fahrenheit_213 and retweeting the campaign post before December 7, 2025, players can enter a draw to win one of three gift cards.
