Attack on Titan's Wit Studio Animates 3 Videos for Square Enix's Project Tokyo Dolls App

Square Enix opened a teaser website on Friday for a new smartphone game titled Project Tokyo Dolls. The website began streaming on Monday the "Episode 0" promotional video video animated by Wit Studio (Attack on Titan, Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress) and Visual Works, the CG movie production department of Square Enix.

In the video, a girl heads to see a concert for the all-female idol group Dolls. However, she gets caught up in a certain incident. The video ends with her saying "I don't want to die."

Wit Studio and Visual Works will produce three anime promotional videos for the "beautiful girl tap action role-playing game." The next two videos will center on the girl in the first video and reveal the game's story. The second video will debut on Wednesday, followed by the third on Friday.

The story is set in the unchanging scenery and calm daily life of Tokyo in 2017. Female fighters are battling in the unknown reverse side of Tokyo. Dolls is actually a facade to conceal the true nature of the group as a combat force. A few years ago, a strange being known as Pygmalion appeared and began to consume people in the shadows of Tokyo. The affected area extends to a wide area inside Tokyo, and people's memories and feelings are being consumed. The girls reborn as dolls with paranormal powers are the only opposition to Pygmalion. Forced to fight a harsh battle beyond death, the girls' fates are interwoven with the mysterious artifact "Gear" that shines in their hearts.

The game is slated to launch for iOS and Android devices this month. Basic gameplay will be free, but some in-game items will be available for purchase. The pre-registration period is open now, and players will receive in-game bonus items depending on how many people pre-register.
