On September 9, Square Enix announced Voice of Cards: The Isle Dragon Roars. A teaser site has also opened.

Voice of Cards: The Isle Dragon Roars is a new RPG by the creative director Yoko Taro. The game is set in a world of swords and magic, where the player embarks on an adventure and fight demons who avenge mankind. The purpose of the player’s journey is unknown at this moment.

Numerous fragmentary texts are written on the teaser site and in the trailer. They are mostly out of context, but they do reveal some information about the game. There are powerful dragons roaming in the game’s world, and they are wreaking havoc on human society. There are conflicts between humans as well, and an organization called the White Order (白の教団) will appear. We don’t know how all the information ties together yet, but since Yoko Tako is involved as the creative director, we can expect a dark story to unfold.

The project will have Yosuke Saito as the executive producer, Keiichi Okabe as the music director, and Kimihiko Fujisaka as the character designer. Fujisaka previously worked on the character design of the Drakengard series.

Key members from the Drakengard series are on board, but according to a tweet from Yoko Taro, this is not a Drakengard game.

During the Nier Replicant ver 1.22’s official live broadcast back in April, it was mentioned that the game will be a little indie-like and will have a download version only (though they did say there’s a possibility of making a special physical edition). The platforms are not announced yet, but according to these previous comments, it is safe to assume that it will not be a mobile-only game.
