A brand new JRPG heads for the Nintendo Switch this year. Teased just last week with a countdown website, we originally knew it was “PROJECT-TRITRI.” However, a retailer accidentally leaked the real listing of the game, revealing the actual title of the game as well as some information. Look forward to FuRyu’s new Nintendo Switch game Trinity Trigger, coming out later this year.
Trinity Trigger, the new JRPG
Trinity Trigger is “a 90’s era traditional RPG experience for the modern age.” Follow the story of a young man fated to save the world. Invoking the traditional fantasy RPG genre, enjoy action-based gameplay while exploring fields and discovering treasure.
Before the listing disappeared, people managed to grab screenshots of the information regarding the game, uncovering both the story and key features in Trinity Trigger. Additionally, the development team includes many well-loved people in the RPG scene, including:
- Nobuteru Yuuki (Trials of Mana, Chrono Cross), World Designer
- Raita Kazama (Xenoblade), Character Designer
- Yuura Kubota (Octopath Traveler, Bravely Default II), Scenario
- Hiroki Kikuta (Secret of Mana), Composer
- Atsuko Nishida, Tomohiro Kitakaze, Megumi Mizutani (Pokémon), Game Design
Story and Features
Story:
The legend goes…
Long ago, the “Gods of Order” and the “Gods of Chaos” fought for control of the world.
Great weapons fell to the land, and the world began to collapse.
Each God chose a proxy—a “Warrior of the Gods”—and it was decided that a winner would be determined by the battles between warriors.
And so time passed…
Cyan, a young man living a quiet life in a small village, one day learns the gods chose him as a “Warrior of Chaos”. Burdened with a cruel fate, he sets out on a journey to fight against destiny with Eris and Xanthys, who joined him as if guided to him.
Together the three can change their fate… So it is believed…
Game features:
- Classic Isometric Action for the Modern Age – Classic isometric action with a 90s era feel, polished for the modern age.
- Discovery in Battle – Fight in action-based battles by switching between a total of eight weapon types using the “Ring Change” system. Victory is determined not only by finding the enemy’s opening and circumstance, but also by using the weapons they are weakest against. Enjoy a battle style all your own by putting together your own combos, weapon upgrades, and effects.
- Discovery on the Field – With more than 60 area maps—including lush forests, forests with glowing mushrooms, snowy mountains, deserts, ice, and fire—with numerous treasure chests, cuttable weeds, breakable rocks, and paths not obvious at first sight, dungeon exploration offers an endless sense of discovery. Tons of diverse mechanics will ensure you not travel each map on a linear path.
- Discovery in Towns – There are plenty of discoveries to be made via the people you meet in towns. You may even uncover treasures by talking to them. To discover the truth of this world, it is essential to hear out the stories of its oppressed people.
When does the game release?
According to the listing, now taken down, Trinity Trigger releases September 15, 2022 in Japan on Switch, PS4, and PS5. However, no release date appears for the West quite yet. Additionally, we will get more information on the game May 26, 2022. FuRyu had initially planned to reveal the game’s details then, but hey, we’re not complaining about the slip-up.
Via, Nintendo Life.
