TOWA AND THE GUARDIANS OF THE SACRED TREE features engaging game play with fast-paced action, gorgeous characters in a hand-drawn style and stunning scenery reminiscing of the warmth of Japanese ink painting, and a unique soundtrack by composer Hitoshi Sakimoto. These come together to create a colorful world where visually peaceful splendor belies a lurking threat, and where courage is the only way forward. Set in a distant land, the tranquil village of Shinju is threatened by the evil Magatsu's quest for domination. Towa, the priestess of Shinju Village, stands united with eight unique, trustworthy companions to defeat Magatsu and his evil minions.
Players choose two Guardians to venture on each quest - one guardian wields the power of the sacred sword called Tsurugi and the other is the bearer of the magical staff Kagura. Each guardian has unique skillsets that can be unlocked and upgraded both inside the dungeons and through a meta-progression in the hub world of Shinju Village. Beyond each Guardian's abilities, players can find various crafting materials to forge and upgrade their swords, making each combat style and guardian pair unique. As the guardians pursue their quests across different timelines, the village will evolve over the years. Players develop unique bonds with residents and learn more about their customs and stories that are woven into the inner workings of the village. Ultimately, they must fight together through these colorful lands, conquer dungeons, and defeat Magatsu's minions to restore peace to the land.
TOWA AND THE GUARDIANS OF THE SACRED TREE is coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X - S, Nintendo Switch and PC on September 19, 2025.
