I Am Setsuna studio reveals new RPG Lost Sphear

For Nintendo Switch, PS4, PC.

I Am Setsuna developer Tokyo RPG Factory has announced Lost Sphear, a new role-player headed to Nintendo Switch, PC and PlayStation 4 in early 2018.

Lost Sphear will build upon the battle system of I Am Satsuma and also shares a similar art style.

Its story will follow a young boy, Kanata, who finds his hometown disappearing. Cue the start of an adventure, the gathering of party members and a quest to save the world.

A limited number of physical copies will be sold via publisher Square Enix's online store. Otherwise, the game will be a digital launch via the Nintendo eShop, PlayStation Store and Steam.
