posted on by Alex Mateo
The official website for the Alterna Vvelt -Blue Exorcist Another Story- (Alterna Vvelt: Ao no Exorcist Gaiden) game for the Blue Exorcist franchise announced on Wednesday that the game will launch for iOS and Android devices on June 25 following a delay. The website streamed a trailer:
The game was slated for release for iOS and Android last summer (the Japanese version also lists a Windows release), but it was delayed to 2025 to further improve the game's quality. The game's staff stated that they were reconsidering the development schedule with the goal of launching the game "by the first half of 2025." The game's staff previously reported on the game's current development status, stating that most of the character creatives and voices, the worldview's cityscapes, and the scenario had been steadily produced, but it would take time to adjust the game balance and production, improve the interface, and fix other bugs.
Pre-registration is currently ongoing. The game will get an English release.
The protagonist is an ordinary exorcist stationed at the Japanese branch of the Knights of the True Cross. They are assigned to the newly founded Special Investigations Unit and meet their partner, Adori Kureha. They will meet the other quirky members of the SIU and investigate the Hyakusai Pagoda Fire and demons of the Koreiga appearing in the city...
The game will feature returning characters from the franchise, but also new characters, including:
- Yume Miyamoto as Adori Kureha
- Kenjirō Tsuda as Yushi Makugai
- Natsumi Fujiwara as Kazuto Igiri
- Lynn as Kunan Hitsugi
- Taku Yashiro as Yasumi Nadeshiko
- Kazuyuki Okitsu as Jirei Komori
- Reina Kondo as Matoi Kozuki
Original manga creator Kazue Katō supervised the draft design for the characters.
ESPIRIT previously revealed a Ao no Exorcist: Damned Chord smartphone game in 2018, but canceled the game in November 2020. Esprit instead stated in 2020 that it has started a new project that promises a Blue Exorcist smartphone MMORPG. Aniplex is listed for planning and distribution of the game.
The franchise's new anime has two cours (quarter of a year). The first cours titled Blue Exorcist: Beyond the Snow Saga (Ao no Exorcist: Yuki no Hate-hen) began airing in October 2024. Blue Exorcist: The Blue Night Saga, the second cours, premiered on January 4. Crunchyroll is streaming the anime as it airs.
Katō launched the Blue Exorcist manga in Jump SQ. in 2009. The manga went on hiatus in July 2021, and resumed in May 2022. The manga has more than 25 million copies in circulation.
