A follow-up to Nintendo 3DS title Fantasy Life, Fantasy Life i sees players drifting onto an island that was previously home to a prosperous civilisation. Players develop the island through quests and crafting, before being able to time travel back into the past, where they can learn secrets about the island and potentially rewrite history. The game will include fourteen different roles, or Lives, for players to freely change between as they build up their town. It will also include online co-op for up to four players along with multiplatform Cross-Play and Cross-Save. Level-5 announced that the game has surpassed 500,000 units sold and is offering a pair of celebratory campaigns with more details available here.
