Last month, SEGA announced the Android and iOS release of a new mobile game based on the classic anime series Fist of the North Star titled ‘Fist of the North Star: Legends ReVIVE’ for the Japanese market. Honestly, that announcement came at a surprise to us as we thought the company was done making games related to this anime after Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise – a PS4 game made by Ryu Ga Gotoku, the same developer behind the acclaimed Yakuza franchise.
Anyway, we were rather skeptical at the time because there was no information on whether it’d be available outside of Japan. Now, though, it seems our worries were redundant as Fist of the North Star: Legends ReVIVE is now open for pre-registration globally. On top of that, SEGA has also published a new trailer that showcases some in-game footages for us to have an idea of what to expect. Check it out below to see for yourself:
So, from the trailer, it can be seen that the combat will be turn-based and allow you to control a group of characters to fight against enemies. The format looks just like your usual free-to-play mobile RPG, but it appears that the iconic over-the-top action still here in abundance. The game also looks like it has used some assets from the PS4 game as well. Hopefully, the final release of Fist of the North Star: Legends ReVIVE will be able to please fans of the anime and with the familiar characters and the satisfying finish moves that people know and love.
As mentioned, the English version of Fist of the North Star: Legends ReVIVE is currently available for pre-registration on both Google Play and the App Store. No release date has been confirmed yet, however.
