From May through June, various companies are scheduled to release new game information one after another. Since many titles are slated for release between the end of this year and the beginning of next year, we should check our schedules now and prepare for some serious gaming! Marvelous Inc. streamed the MARVELOUS GAME SHOWCASE 2024 on Friday, May 31, 2024. Latest information regarding console games, apps, and amusement titles currently under development and operation was announced.
Latest Information Revealed at MARVELOUS GAME SHOWCASE 2024
The digital event MARVELOUS GAME SHOWCASE 2024 was released on the Marvelous Europe Official Channel YouTube channel. The showcase revealed the latest information on various titles, including Story of Seasons and Rune Factory! Here is a brief summary.
FARMAGIA
In last year's MARVELOUS GAME SHOWCASE 2023, this project was introduced as Project MAGIA, but the official title has been finalized as FARMAGIA. Manga artist Hiro Mashima is in charge of character design.
The newly released opening footage of FARMAGIA features major characters such as the following:
- Ten (CV: Kohei Amasaki)
- Arche (CV: Ayane Sakura)
- Chica (CV: Inori Minase)
- Lookie-Loo (CV: Atsumi Tanezaki)
Be sure to listen to the FARMAGIA opening theme dis-dystopia, performed by Arche (CV: Ayane Sakura) and Chica (CV: Inori Minase).
FARMAGIA is currently under development with a goal to release within 2024.
Latest Title in the Story of Seasons Series
The latest title in the Story of Seasons series is said to focus on the expressions of the nature such as light, flora, and fauna. It looks like we can enjoy farm life with an even greater sense of immersion than in previous entries.
Furthermore, it was revealed that a glider will appear for the first time in the series in this title. Will we be able to experience unprecedented verticality, or perhaps explore a field as vast as an open world? Regarding further news, the developers said, "Please wait a little longer!"
Bikkuriman Wonder Collection
The smartphone game app Bikkuriman Wonder Collection has been available to great acclaim since Friday, April 19, 2024! You can battle while collecting nostalgic characters on your phone and view your collection in the in-game encyclopedia.
Pokemon Frienda
The amusement machine Pokemon Frienda was recently announced on Monday, April 15, 2024. Operations are scheduled to start sequentially around July 2024, offering an experience unique to arcade machines with a 50-inch large-screen touch panel.
When a cooperative battle occurs, the screen connects with the adjacent cabinet, transitioning into a powerful gameplay experience. Work together with another player to aim for a special Frienda Pick!
TRY CATCH
A new crane game machine, TRY CATCH, was announced. In TRY CATCH, players aim for prizes using only rotation.
The mechanism is designed so that if you successfully carry the prize to the top, the floor opens for you to retrieve it. Furthermore, prizes are automatically replenished, which means you can play the next round without waiting for a staff member.
The Story of Seasons Fluffy Cow Plush is scheduled to appear in July 2024. Details regarding participating stores will be announced at a later date, so let's wait for further news!
Indie Game Bo: Path of the Teal Lotus
