  Big announcement - Miwa: The Sacred Fox II is now in early development

  Hello dear players! I am really proud to announce you that Miwa: The Sacred Fox 2 is now officially in early stage of development! Dive deep into the magical autumn world of Japan once again during the Tsukimi festival, a traditional ceremony celebrating the harvest, listening to music under the open sky, lying in pampas grass and watching the shining moon from a boat in the middle of a lantern-lit lake. Everything feels like a beautiful tale from the Kamijina region, until you realize that something is not right. That night, the moon is completely covered in a deep, blood-red color, and everyone is tense, wondering what this ominous sign means. The ocean’s waves begin to retreat as the tide grows low, and nightmares start to appear... Nightmares of the awakened fox Miwa, who is in danger of the encroaching darkness. Miwa: The Sacred Fox 2 is an upcoming continuous game from Baki Studio. The full release date will be announced when it is ready. Enjoy a first look at the new environment and the expanded region of Kamijima. Thank you for any support!
