Dive into Tokyo's New Immersive Game
Tokyo Metro and Kyuukitsu Hack have teamed up to present an exciting new experience game, titled
'Metro Time Gate: Archivist', set to take place at the Subway Museum in Edogawa, Tokyo, starting from
June 26, 2026. This thrilling spinoff from the original
Metro Time Gate series promises to offer visitors a unique adventure among the museum's historical exhibits.
What is 'Metro Time Gate'?
'Metro Time Gate' is an immersive experience game that allows participants to become the protagonist, exploring the streets of Tokyo as they advance through an engaging narrative. Participants have praised the game for its compelling characters and immersive story, with over
40,000 players having taken part across various chapters, including the currently running
Ruby Express edition.
The new
'Archivist' edition encapsulates the engaging atmosphere of the original series, concentrating the adventure within the confines of the Subway Museum's architecture. Instead of roaming city streets, players will unlock mysteries using artifacts and archives presented in the museum, promising an intriguing experience regardless of weather conditions.
Unique Experience
This spinoff story is crafted as an entirely new narrative, allowing newcomers to jump into the adventure without prior participation in the existing
Metro Time Gate series. Additionally, fans of the
Ruby Express are in for a treat; those who have participated will receive bonus puzzles to continue their thrilling experience.
The game introduces remarkable new characters, including
Chika Kasai, a passionate aspiring archivist, and the quirky creature,
Chikaijuu, who leads players on a series of amusing encounters. The backdrop of the Subway Museum serves not only to enrich the story but also introduces participants to these new characters amidst the established Metro Time Gate universe.
Key Characters
- - Chika Kasai: An ambitious dreamer striving to become an archivist, deeply fascinated by the history of the subway. With a motivated spirit, she channels her admiration for fellow metro characters into her quest for success.
- - Chikaijuu: This mysterious monster is driven by the rumors of rewards associated with becoming an archivist but quickly realizes they lack the knowledge needed to succeed. Their antics provide a humorous twist to the adventure, creating hurdles for players and Chika.
Along with these new faces, all favorite characters from prior installations will be present, interacting with players as they weave through tests and mysteries that challenge their problem-solving skills.
