Square Enix Announces Shin Kaku Gi Kou And The Eleven Destroyers

Recommended Videos

 

Late last month, Square Enix and Straight Edge announced that they are working on a collaboration project with A Certain Magical Index writer and character designer Kazuma Kamachi and Kiyotaka Haimura, and this has been revealed to be Shin Kaku Gi Kou and the Eleven Destroyers. [Thanks, Game’s Talk!]

 

 

The crux of this project is the upcoming smartphone game, but Square Enix plans to spin this into its own multimedia franchise, including a novel and comic as well. The smartphone game will come out in 2019.

 

The production will be handled by Square Enix and Straight Edge, Kazuma Kamachi is the writer, Kiyotaka Haimura is the character designer, and the opening animation is being done by Studio Trigger. The theme song for the game is “Future is Mine” by Myth & Roid.

 

Story

In a land of swords and magic, there was a living creature, an evil god, that lived there.

People feared its existence, but at the same time were tempted by its power.

“I want that power…”

This dangerous wish led to them breaking off the evil god’s horns, and embed them in giant weapons known as “Shin Kaku Gi Kou”.

Currently, there are ten of these fearsome machines across the land, each of which are strong enough to topple a country and its army.

However, one day, Moebius, the strongest user of these machines, appears by chance while severely hurt in front of a young boy named Miyabi, and entrusts his “power” to him. He then explains…

There is an 11th Shin Kaku Gi Kou out there, that nobody knows about.

Before that uncontrollable creature destroys the entire land, you must protect everyone.
