Fantasy Life is making a surprise comeback with the unexpected reveal of a brand new sequel to the beloved social RPG heading to Nintendo Switch!
LEVEL-5 has been teasing the idea of a sequel to Fantasy Life on Nintendo 3DS off and on for quite a while now, and they’ve finally delivered on the announcement today. Except it’s probably not quite what you were expecting: Fantasy Life 2: Two Moons and the Village of God is releasing this summer in Japan for iOS and Android mobile devices.
As far as we can tell at this early stage, Fantasy Life 2 doesn’t seem to much of a sequel at all aside from a new Village feature to collect villagers and build up your town, certainly a feature that gives off a mobile game vibe but also more of an Animal Crossing vibe. The graphics seem extremely similar and the game takes place in the same maps as well as the same 12 lives as far as we know.
Fantasy Life is a mostly great game on the Nintendo 3DS (more on that soon, my long delayed review is scheduled to go up this month) and truly deserves a full true-to-life sequel at some point no matter the platform with brand new maps and lives. For more information and screenshots on Fantasy Life 2: Two Moons and the Village of God, check out the official website in Japanese at LEVEL-5.
So as many of you may be aware, Fantasy Life on the Nintendo 3DS finally released in North America today, as well as Europe last month. Personally, I have been watching this title since TGS 2012 where it was first shown in Japan. Finally, a localization effort was announced at E3 this year, and here we are today with the game released in all territories!
Many have been saying that this game will appeal to the Animal Crossing audience, and I snagged a copy from Nintendo of Canada, so I’m going to be covering some of the game here over the next while to give you guys an impression of the game from the perspective of an long time Animal Crossing player. I’ll look into doing a review as well at some point. So buckle in, this blog is making a little come back with Fantasy Life!
If you’ve already played the game, or are considering doing so, leave us a comment below!
