| Tokyo, Japan – July 2 – SHUEISHA GAMES Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; hereinafter "SHUEISHA GAMES") is pleased to announce that acclaimed artist Mari Shimazaki has joined Chronoscript: The Endless End as character designer, while celebrated composer Yasunori Mitsuda and members of Procyon Studio are participating in music and sound production for the game. Earlier this month, Chronoscript: The Endless End announced its Fall 2026 release window during Summer Game Fest. Developed by DeskWorks Inc. for PlayStation®5 and Steam®, the exploration-based action-adventure places players in the role of an editor trapped inside a manuscript, where they must uncover a thousand-year tale that continues beyond its ending by traversing hand-drawn worlds, a mysterious 3D manor, and stories set across countless eras and lands. Mari Shimazaki, known for her work on Bayonetta 1–3 and Ōkami, is serving as Chronoscript: The Endless End's 3D character designer and character modeling director, working alongside sculptor Hiroaki Nakanishi, modeler Mikai Locko, and Bee Tribe Co., Ltd. on the game's cast of characters. "Both the 'Editor' and the 'Vampire' are characters full of personality, with DeskWorks' attention to detail shining through in each of them," said Shimazaki. "To ensure that the 3D designs and modeling would harmonize with the 2D designs and the game itself, I focused not simply on realism, but on strongly conveying each character's individuality." |
