Tales of Seikyu has announced its Closed Alpha release date for its fantasy farming simulator.
Tales of Seikyu is a fantasy adventure life-sim role-playing game (RPG) that features mystical yōkai, developed and published by ACE Entertainment. The game is scheduled to be released in 2024 for PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox X/S, and Mac.
Players enter a world set in the Showa era on Seikyu Island, where they can plant crops, craft, ranch, fish, explore underwater areas, build relationships with the villagers, and support town development. It also seems like players could furnish their homes and cook dishes. Perhaps the most exciting part is the ability to transform to various yōkai.
Tales of Seikyu announced their Closed Alpha release date on their official X account, stating, “Dear Islanders of Seikyu, we are ecstatic to share that the news everyone has been waiting for is finally here!” The video revealed its date, May 27, 2024.
Tales of Seikyu launched a Kickstarter campaign from January 16 until February 24, 2024, and it has reached $378,482 with over 6,000 backers. Features were unlocked upon reaching funding goals, such as a female protagonist at $80,000. Reached goals include a pet store, Seikyu Shrine, Console and Switch platforms, exploration of Seikyu Ruins, and an additional five new yōkai.
Sadly, it didn’t reach the $400,000 goal, which indicates character customization, and many players are hoping that there will still be one. Other unreached goals included four new romanceable characters, raising yōkai kids, and Seikyu Tavern.
So far, the game seems promising in terms of its gameplay and features. The island also seems lively, as there are over 40 residents who have diverse personalities, occupations, and hobbies. It’s also possible to have open relationships, which could lead to irreparable consequences.
Tales of Seikyu seems to be a promising farming simulator and role-playing game, and hoping that the world would be full of personality that will fully immerse its players. The art of the game is also captivating, especially the character portraits!
