On May 28, 2026, Japanese fans of JRPGs will see the arrival of two highly anticipated releases for the Nintendo Switch 2: 'Utawarerumono: Past and Present Rediscovered' and 'Monochrome Mobius: Rights and Wrongs Forgotten.' Developed by Aquaplus, both titles offer a rich blend of storytelling, strategy, and turn-based combat that has resonated with fans across previous platforms and iterations.
To commemorate their launch, Japan will also receive a special edition package featuring exclusive collectibles, as well as a convenient double pack featuring both games on game-key cartridges—a notable draw for collectors and newcomers alike. Originally launched in 2023, 'Monochrome Mobius: Rights and Wrongs Forgotten' introduced players to a new chapter in the Utawarerumono universe.
Building directly upon the narrative foundations laid by this title, 'Utawarerumono: Past and Present Rediscovered' serves as a sequel, ushering players back into the sprawling mythos of Yamato.
Although neither title has been officially slated for a Western release yet, both games have undergone localization work, indicating that international fans may yet have hope in the future. The latest installment, 'Utawarerumono: Past and Present Rediscovered,' immerses players in a classic JRPG experience, featuring expansive world exploration, the return of the much-loved Action Ring system, and a roster of beloved characters.
Players will once again join Oshtor, Mikazuchi, Munechika, and Shunya, a cast heralded as heroes since defending their homeland from the lost realm of Arva Shulan.
As a new shadow looms over the empire of Yamato, monsters appear throughout the land, and the country's champions must unite to confront fresh threats and unravel deepening mysteries. Aquaplus has continued to deliver polished, story-driven games that blend visual novel and tactical RPG elements, earning the studio a loyal following.
Featuring a large, memorable cast, including Oshtor—now the Imperial Guard of the Right—and allies like Shunya and Munechika, the franchise has established itself as a pillar of narrative-driven Japanese RPGs.
Each character is brought to life by acclaimed voice actors such as Kentaro Tone, Yuko Minaguchi, Saori Hayami, and Yuya Uchida, deepening players’ connections to the unfolding saga. The release on Nintendo Switch 2 underscores Nintendo’s continued commitment to supporting robust third-party content on its hardware, strengthening its library of genre-leading JRPGs.
Players in Japan will be able to purchase the new entries digitally via the Nintendo eShop or opt for the physical game-key cartridge double pack. With its engaging blend of tactical combat, intricate storytelling, and a rich musical score, the Utawarerumono series continues to captivate longtime fans and new players alike.
For those eager to experience the legend’s next chapter, May 28, 2026, marks a date to remember in the Japanese gaming calendar.
