Overview

  • Pre-orders are now open ahead of the game’s September 19, 2025 launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch and PC.
  • Players control two characters simultaneously using a twin-stick system that designates one as a sword-wielding Tsurugi and the other as a staff-carrying Kagura.
  • The roguelite design delivers solo or online co-op runs and a meta-progression hub in Shinju Village where unlocked abilities carry over between attempts.
  • Towa can recruit eight prayer children guardians, each granting unique staffs, swords and skills for varied team compositions.
  • A hand-drawn art style and painterly backgrounds bring the Japanese mythology-inspired realm to life, accompanied by a soundtrack from composer Hitoshi Sakimoto.
