Gameplay

In Re:Zero -Starting Life in Another World- The Prophecy of the Throne, the player plays a role of Subaru Natsuki, who finds himself transported in another world. You can explore the Kingdom of Lugunica and interact with either both new or familiar characters from the anime. Subaru's "Return by Death" as in the original is an important element in terms of game system.[1] The characters will appear in chibi forms during exploration.

Story

The world takes place in the Kingdom of Lugunica where humans and demi-humans alike lived together and hosting an election for becoming the next king of Lugunica. The main protagonist Subaru Natsuki, a 17-year-old NEET who suddenly finds himself transported to another world on his way home from the convenience store. There, he meets a silver-haired half-elf girl named Emilia, and falls deeply in love with her. Upon his arrival, Subaru acquires an ability which he calls "Return by Death", that allows him to go back in time when he dies, while still retaining his memories of the previous timelines. He cannot tell anyone about this ability, because any attempt to do so causes him to black out momentarily as unseen hands emerge to squeeze his heart, and may even kill those around him.

One month after Subaru’s new life in another world began, an emissary sent by the Royal Castle suddenly appears with news that the Royal Selection has been postponed, but offers no reason as to why. The postponement of this grand event that decides the next ruler of the Kingdom of Lugunica stirs Subaru and his friends into action. They return to the Royal Capital only to find that a sixth candidate has claimed their stake for the throne. But the Dragon Stone prophesizes that only five candidates would be chosen. With one candidate being an imposter, suspicions are immediately cast toward one woman in particular: Emilia. What answers lie beyond the mysterious web of assassination, betrayal, and conspiracies…?

The game will center on the Royal Selection storyline from the anime's first season, but will contain entirely new "what-if" events, with plot supervision by original author Tappei Nagatsuki.[2]

Development

Re:Zero -Starting Life in Another World- The Prophecy of the Throne is developed by Chime and published by Spike Chunsoft, and will be fully supervised by Japanese light novel series author Tappei Nagatsuki. At the same time, he also supervises another game called Re:Zero -Starting Life in Another World- Lost in Memories. It includes the original light novel artist Shinichirou Otsuka that will be designing brand new characters, as well as characters from the series.[3]
