Utawarerumono: Past and Present Rediscovered Details More Characters, Gameplay
Aquaplus released new screenshots and information for Utawarerumono: Past and Present Rediscovered. The game is a sequel to Monochrome Mobius: Rights and Wrongs Forgotten, taking place prior to the events of Utawarerumono: Mask of Deception. It will release for PC worldwide and for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2 in Japan on May 28, 2026. The new update introduces a selection characters appearing in the game as well as various gameplay details.
Utawarerumono: Past and Present Rediscovered follows Oshtor and his allies on a new adventure after they return as heroes to the empire of Yamato. Shunrai is the mother of Raiko and Mirai, and adoptive mother of Mikazuchi, though her youthful appearance belies the age of her children. Raiko is one of the Pillar Generals of Yamato and is quite different from Mikazuchi, being a coolheaded strategist looking at the bigger picture. Elsewhere, Ashta and Nava are siblings from Arva Shulan. The pair are currently in Yamato on a secret mission from the Shantuura. Ashta is the older of the two and more rational, while Nava is taller and more childlike.
While exploring, players will see enemies wandering around. Touching an enemy will begin a battle against them, though by performing a field attack from behind, players can start combat with an advantage. In addition, players can ride a Woptor mount, and if players meet the conditions, they can automatically defeat enemies while mounted. The game will also allow players to fast travel at any time, as opposed to the previous game, where they could only fast travel from Recollection Shrines.
Players can conquer parts of the world as they explore. This involves defeating a certain number of enemies before potentially fighting powerful enemies known as Area Rulers in order to complete a conquest. Once an area is conquered, players can immediately defeat enemies by using a quick attack. These quick defeats award the same experience and rewards as if they were fought in regular combat.
Utawarerumono: Past and Present Rediscovered uses the same turn-based combat system as Monochrome Mobius: Rights and Wrongs Forgotten. Turn order is displayed by a ring-based gauge in the top-left of the screen. Characters move around the rings based on their speed stats, taking their next turn when they reach the next point. By lowering the morale of an enemy or by using a dedicated command, characters can move into a smaller ring, which allows their turns to come up more quickly.
In addition to fighting with their party, players can also swap them out and summon Shunya’s caretaker Halu. Halu’s health and action points are displayed in the upper right of the screen; if he runs out of health then he needs time to rest before he can be summoned again. Halu can be upgraded at the merchant, allowing players to raise his stats or obtain new abilities. He can also use a special Armored Trance Form, which lets him take on a different body type suited for different strategies and attack styles.
