Sega is currently (16th), TGS 2022 official broadcast ‘Sega New #TGS2022 Special’, another new work being developed at the studio like Dragon, ‘Dragon-like Restoration! The latest information on the drama (herefollowing, Yushin! The play) was released. On this day’s broadcast, Masayoshi Yokoyama, the head of the studio like a dragon, appeared and restored! He directly introduced the characteristics of the play, and also revealed the reason for using ‘Unreal Engine 4’ instead of Dragon Engine, the studio’s traditional self-developed engine.
‘Dragon-like Restoration!’ is the second historical drama side story in the Dragon-like series following ‘Dragon-like Kenzan!’ and was first released in 2014. The game takes place in Kyoto at the end of the shogunate period, and the player becomes Sakamoto Ryoma in the form of Kiryu Kazuma and is engulfed in a turbulent vortex. As it was reborn as a ‘pole’ series, it became a target for the global market, and it is characterized by including a lot of new content that might not be seen in the original.
On this day, Yokoyama’s representative is a revival! Three characteristics of the play were summarized and explained. Right away ‘Advanced graphic expression’, ‘All-star characters appear beyond the walls of the work’, and ‘A more profound battle system’to be.
First, the more evolved Yushin! For the graphic expression of the play, Unreal Engine 4 was used instead of the Dragon Engine in this work. The CEO of Yokoyama said that the Dragon Engine is an engine specialized in expressing the neon-lit streets at night, and most of the major gameplay takes place during the daytime. He explained that it was not suitable for the play. In the end, to express more realistic visuals, Unreal Engine was employed to express the appearance of the end of the Shogunate in the game.
The second characteristic of the work is the appearance of all-star characters that span the series like dragons. Like the original dragon released in 2014! In Yushin, only the characters from episodes 1 to 5 appear like dragons, but Yushin! The characters from the series Zero, 6, and 7 will all appear in the play.
The third and final feature is a more profound battle system. CEO Masayoshi introduced the ‘Warrior Card’ system as one of the biggest changes. In the original, the warrior card might only be used temporarily in dungeons for cultivating weapons, but the Restoration! In the play, it became possible to freely use it not only in the village, but also anywhere in the main story. Representative Masayoshi said that there are various types of samurai cards, from defense to attack and healing, so you can use them in various ways to restore! I asked you to enjoy the battle of the play.
Lastly, Masayoshi did not think that it would work in the world, so there were many requests from overseas fans who wanted to play works that were only released in Japan, so ‘Restoration! He explained that a ‘pole’ might be made. He said, “It is a work that not only users who encounter a completely new game, but also users who played the original 9 years ago can enjoy it as if they are playing a new game, so please look forward to it.”
Armed with upgraded graphics and content with ‘extreme’ quality, ‘Dragon-like Restoration! ‘The Drama’ is scheduled to be released on February 22, 2023.
