A Final Battle in the Age of the Samurai
Set fourteen years after the Battle of Sekigahara, Homura: The Crimson Warriors places players in the midst of a nation split between the rising Tokugawa shogunate and the remnants of the Toyotomi loyalists. When the Toyotomi established Osaka Castle as their final stronghold, only a handful of allies answered their desperate call, including Nobushige Sanada, accompanied by the legendary Sanada Ten Braves.
Players take the role of Mutsumi Mochizuki, a heroine who joins the Crimson Warriors as alliances tighten, blades clash, and war looms. The game blends historical events with stylized fantasy, original characters, and emotional branching romance routes.
Key Features
Love in the Flames of War
Originally released in Japan on PS Vita in 2018, Homura now makes its Western debut with polished visuals, multiple endings, romantic routes, and CGs set against one of Japan’s most iconic wartime eras.
Energy Reading System
Mutsumi can monitor both affection and “Ring” status, a unique mechanic that determines each warrior’s ability to activate special powers at the cost of their health. Players must keep this balance in check or face dire consequences.
Ninja Guidance
Revisit past scenes using ninja scrolls to adjust choices, affection levels, and Ring states to forge different outcomes and explore alternate paths.
Path of the Samurai
Level up Mutsumi’s ninja rank as battles escalate. Mastering her skills ensures she can stand alongside the Crimson Warriors and face the deadly Ura Yagyu.
Homura: The Crimson Warriors launches on Nintendo Switch in March 2026 in North America and March/April 2026 in Europe.
