TSURUGIHIME Revealed: Ex-FGO Director's 100-Day Action RPG Lets You Craft Destiny Itself

Former Fate/Grand Order creative director Yosuke Shiokawa has unveiled his first independent project: TSURUGIHIME, a side-scrolling action RPG where destiny itself becomes a weapon. The game debuted at INDIE Live Expo 2025 with a striking gameplay trailer.

TSURUGIHIME centers on a dramatic premise: the final battle arrives in exactly 100 days. How players spend each day leading up to this confrontation shapes everything—from combat abilities to relationships to the story's ultimate outcome.

1,000 Weapons, Infinite Strategies

The game's combat system offers remarkable depth through its weapon variety. Players can wield up to 1,000 different weapons, each assignable to different actions. This creates nearly endless possibilities for personalized combat strategies, allowing players to build their ideal fighting style.

Craft Your Destiny

The game's tagline—"an RPG where you can even craft destiny"—refers to the protagonist's supernatural "Tsurugi" power. This ability allows players to literally rewrite fate: transform obtained items into something else entirely, erase enemies from existence before fighting them, or even rewind days to make different choices.

These powers function as "cheat-level" abilities, but the 100-day limit ensures players must use them strategically rather than carelessly.

All-Star Development Team

TSURUGIHIME brings together industry veterans from beloved franchises:

• Director: Yosuke Shiokawa (Fate/Grand Order, Kingdom Hearts)
• Character Designer: Kuroboshi Kouhaku (Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online)
• Composer: Takeharu Ishimoto (The World Ends with You, Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII)

The collaboration promises a unique blend of compelling storytelling, distinctive character design, and memorable music that fans of these creators' previous work will appreciate.

Sister Customization System

Beyond combat, TSURUGIHIME features a relationship-building system centered on the protagonist's sister character. Player choices throughout the 100 days influence her personality development, adding another layer of consequence to daily decisions.

Multiple endings await based on how players navigate the century of days leading to the climactic battle, encouraging replay to discover all possible outcomes.

TSURUGIHIME is currently in development by 213°F (Fahrenheit 213 Inc.) for Steam, targeting Early Access in 2026. The game will support English, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese.
