Nippon Ichi Software announced The Wicked King and the Noble Hero, a brand new RPG from The Liar Princess and the Blind Prince creator Sayaka Oda! The game releases on June 24th for PS4 and Switch in Japan. We can expect a western release from NIS America just like The Liar Princess and the Blind Prince but for now, we must wait for that announcement. Here’s an overview of the game courtesy of Gematsu:
A Heartwarming Story Born from Interspecies Communication
“I’m going to become a noble hero just like papa!”
The human girl Yuu is the daughter of the late hero. Raised by the king dragon, she is told about her father’s adventures every night… Inspired by the story of the hero who defeated the overlord, she sets off on an adventure to become a noble hero.
But Yuu is still unaware… that the overlord that her father once battled was the king dragon himself.
