XSEED Games Gets Players Up to Speed with New Solatorobo Red the Hunter Story Details
XSEED Games is delighted to be kicking off a summer filled with
news and details regarding the upcoming Nintendo DS action-RPG,
Solatorobo: Red the Hunter! Developed by CyberConnect2 in Japan
– the team behind the late 1990s PlayStation hit, and
Solatorobo’s spiritual predecessor, Tail Concerto – Solatorobo:
Red the Hunter is a winding tale of intrigue and mystery that
encourages players to explore the world, interacting with all
manner of characters along the way.
Taking place in what is known as the Shepherd Republic, a world
of floating islands and European-style vistas, Solatorobo: Red
the Hunter features highly-stylized anime art presented with
bright and stunning pastel colors. Populated by two distinct
bipedal races which resemble dogs and cats, inhabitants of the
Shepherd Republic have advanced to a point where they use robot
mechs, or Robos, in their everyday lives.
Centered around the story of self-assured and somewhat impulsive
dog-like Red Savarin, Solatorobo opens high above the clouds of
the Shepherd Republic, where Red and his faithful, younger
sister-like companion, Chocolat, are about to begin their latest
mission – infiltrate the Hindenburg airship and obtain a file in
exchange for a paycheck from their client, no questions asked.
They pull up alongside the Hindenburg and Red embarks on what he
thinks to be yet another routine mission… but that couldn’t be
farther from the truth.
Together with his beloved Robo, Dahak, Red battles his way deep
into the airship’s superstructure, where he finally comes across
not only the files he seeks, but more importantly a mysterious
artifact. Just as he touches it, a massive monster of
incomprehensible proportions appears from nowhere and bats the
Hindenburg out of the sky. Escaping with the amulet and a
mysterious unconscious passenger he finds along the way, who
later introduces himself as Elh, Red returns to the town of
Airedale seeking his reward while Elh awakens to warn him of an
impending doom…
Where Red sought only compensation for his deeds, he now finds
himself wandering down a twisting path of enigmatic prophecy,
which will lead him to answers both of his past and that of the
world around him.
Currently in production, Solatorobo: Red the Hunter will be
released this fall in North America by XSEED Games for Nintendo
DS. XSEED Games will release more product information in the
coming months.
