ANTHEM#9 Unveils New Teaser and Trailer Ahead of Tokyo Game Show 2024

Shueisha Games Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; hereafter referred to as Shueisha Games) is pleased to announce the teaser visual and two new trailers for ANTHEM#9, which will be showcased at Tokyo Game Show 2024, held from Thursday, September 26th to Sunday, September 29th.

ANTHEM#9 is a turn-based deck-building roguelite that follows the story of a protagonist operating in the shadows to maintain global order. The game features a unique “puzzle-style battle” system where players rearrange red, green, and blue “gems,” randomly distributed each turn, to activate various skills.

Philosophers, scientists, state spies… Those who threaten the world order must be eliminated. This is the creed of “balance and harmony” upheld by the secret organization ANTHEM#9. The story follows agents with supernatural abilities capable of interfering with others’ minds and their battles with dangerous individuals targeted for elimination. This is not your typical tale of good versus evil but a suspenseful story full of twists and intrigue.

Engage in puzzle-style battles where you link skills through gem combinations! Every turn, you’ll be dealt three randomly colored gems, and the key to victory lies in how many skill combos you can chain together within the time limit. Success demands quick decision-making and precise choices, offering a thrilling, new combat experience in this deck-building roguelite.
