ArtePiazza and Any are teaming up to release a new game called Tensei Game for the Nintendo Switch. The game is a Sugoroku-style board game that explores themes of reincarnation, karma, and fate. Players navigate the “Rinnekai,” a fantasy world representing the afterlife, where they’ll encounter various unique characters.
The Twist
Tensei Game is designed to be a “game that guarantees the destruction of friendships.” As players get closer to winning, their friendships will deteriorate. This concept is backed by Yuji Horii, creator of the Dragon Quest series, who is advising on the game, and Muneyuki Kaneshiro, creator of the Blue Lock manga, who is developing the game’s idea.
Potential Expansion
The developers are considering expanding Tensei Game into a broader franchise. This could include various media formats, such as:
- Anime adaptations
- Merchandise
- TikTok content
Initially, Tensei Game is planned for release in Japan in 2026. Whether it will be available internationally remains to be seen.
