AQUAPLUS has announced that the main titles of the Utawarerumono series — Prelude To The Fallen, Mask of Deception, and Mask of Truth, will be released on the Nintendo Switch. Branded as the “Utawarerumono Trilogy Set”, it comes out on 30 January 2025 for Japan and contains all three mainline games in a bundle. As of writing, an English version has not been announced.
Developed by Leaf/AQUAPLUS, the Utawarerumono trilogy previously saw official releases for PC through Steam, and Playstation. This is the first time any entries of the series have been ported to the Switch, as not even its recently released prequel spinoff, Monochrome Mobius: Rights and Wrongs Forgotten, saw a Switch release.
What is Utawarerumono?
The Utawarerumono series is a trilogy of visual novels developed by AQUAPLUS, with the premise of each title centering on an amnesiac protagonist thrust into the tide of war and conflict as he learns to navigate his way around an unfamiliar, Ainu culture-inspired world. Additionally, the visual novel features tabletop RPG gameplay segments meant to simulate combat scenarios. A prequel in the form of an RPG, Monochrome Mobius: Rights and Wrongs Forgotten, was also released in late 2022 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the series.
