All the way back in April 2025 we learned about Tensei Game, a title from Japanese studio Any and developer ArtePiazza, and it\u2019s set to launch in Japan sometime in Summer 2026. Tensei Game will be a sugoroku-style title, and it\u2019s being advised by Dragon Quest series creator Yuji Horii and concepted by Blue Lock and As the Gods Will author Muneyuki Kaneshiro.<\/p>\n
Tensi Game is set in \u201cRinnekai,\u201d a dark fantasy world of the afterlife where players will encounter unique characters who aid in this ruin, and the title is being made with the themes of \u201creincarnation,\u201d \u201ckarma,\u201d and \u201cfate,\u201d in mind. Players will compete to \u201creincarnate\u201d by sabotaging one another, where karma is used to obstruct and betray other players. Apparently the concept behind Tensei Game is \u201ca game guaranteed to ruin your friendships.\u201d<\/p>\n
We really haven\u2019t heard a peep about the game since its initial reveal, but today finally brings us some fresh details courtesy of an interview in Denfaminicogamer<\/a> with some of the dev team. You can see a breakdown of the fresh details below.<\/p>\n Horii says that although Itadaki Street, another of his titles, is a board game centered on exchanging money, Tensei Game revolves around a completely different concept
\n gameplay involves rolling dice and progressing on a game board
\n players will reincarnate into all sorts of life forms, including humans of various professions, animals, and even microorganisms
\n Kaneshiro originally conceptualized the game as an alternative take on \u201cThe Game of Life,\u201d but taking place after death. \u201c
\n the main concept is that everyone dies, becoming something like a soul, and then fights each other to be reborn
\n Kaneshiro says the approach is similar to Ryunosuke Akutagawa\u2019s short story, The Spider\u2019s Thread<\/a>
\n Tensei Game isn\u2019t set in hell, but in Rinnekai, the realm of reincarnation
\n in Rinnekai people fall and become beings called Karmans
\n four players are forced into a death-game-style competition where they gather karma, with karma functioning almost like a currency
\n by collecting karma, the top three players get to be reborn, while the player in fourth place is doomed
\n you\u2019ll need to sabotage others, form alliances, and scheme against people
\n Kaneshiro says you can be cruel, or you can show mercy
\n there will be chance cards and events that can be used to knock other players down
\n the game was designed with streamers in mind
\n it will be important to choose wisely when deciding what to reincarnate into<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"All the way back in April 2025 we learned about Tensei Game, a title from Japanese studio Any…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":691159,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[49,48,61],"class_list":["post-691158","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/691158","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=691158"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/691158\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/691159"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=691158"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=691158"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=691158"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
