During the Japanese broadcast of the September 2023 Nintendo Direct, Spike Chunsoft revealed Shiren the Wanderer 6. It is a new main game in the long-running Mystery Dungeon series. The new entry will lead Shiren to explore the new location of Toguro Island. The game will appear in Japan on January 25, 2024. There’s no word on a worldwide release yet.
The Japanese title of the game is Furai no Shiren Toguro-jima Tanken Roku, which translates to Shiren the Wanderer: Toguro Island Exploration Record. The new title brings back classic Mystery Dungeon action, in which players traverse countless floors filled with dangerous enemies and treasure. If players are defeated during their adventures, they lose their money and objects and have to start back at level 1.
