Following the rating of Mask of Deception earlier this month, ATLUS announced today that visual novel/strategy-RPG titles Utawarerumono: Mask of Deception and Utawarerumono: Mask of Truth are coming to North America and Europe this year. They’ll be priced at $49.99 USD each on PlayStation 4 and $39.99 USD each on PlayStation Vita.
Utawarerumono: Mask of Deception will first release in spring 2017, then Utawarerumono: Mask of Truth will follow in fall 2017. Each game will have English text and the original Japanese audio, and each will see a physical and digital release in North America on both PS4 and PS Vita. In Europe, only the PS4 version will see a physical and digital release, as the Vita version will be digital-only.
Here’s what to expect from Mask of Deception: Mask of Deception follows the story of Haku, a mysterious amnesiac who awakens in an unfamiliar and hostile wilderness. However, he’s rescued by a beautiful girl named Kuon, who sports both adorable animal ears and a beastlike tail. They eventually team up, and Haku will (reluctantly) encounter colorful characters (yes, that means more animal people), build deep relationships, battle ruthless enemies, and find himself inexorably dragged into the political machinations of the mighty nation of Yamato.
