CTW officially launched Black Lagoon: Heaven’s Shot on G123, and the first-ever standalone game adaptation for the Black Lagoon franchise is a free-to-play browser game. Pre-registrations for the game opened in September 2023, and it is now available to play in not only Japanese, but also English.
The developer team described Heaven’s Shot as a hard-boiled RPG. Players will generally spend Recruit Tickets to gather characters from the franchise. Other than members of the Lagoon Company like Revy and Dutch, they can also team up with characters from other factions, such as the Hooligan Church’s Eda, Chang from the Hong Kong Triad, and Hotel Moscow’s Balalaika. Every player who finishes the game’s tutorial will also be able to have Gretel join them as a four-star-rated character.
The Black Lagoon franchise, which originated as a manga series in 2001 and received an anime adaptation in 2006, has seen more activity in 2023. A collaboration cafe opened temporarily in Japan in June 2023. Sega will also release a “Black Lagoon Style” crossover scratch on Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis on December 20, 2023. Players of the latter online game will be able to obtain avatar parts modeled after Revy, Roberta, Hansel, and Gretel.
Black Lagoon Heaven’s Shot is now available on mobile and PC internet browsers.
