Bandai Namco has released a new trailer for Towa and the Guardians of the Sacred Tree, introducing the Guardians Origami and Shigin. Origami and Shigin are some of the many companions that will help players defend Shinju Village in Towa and the Guardians of the Sacred Tree.
Origami comes from Musuhi Village, which is known for having inhabitants with long lifespans. After standing in as the village’s elder for some time, Origami decides to help Towa in order to stop Magatsu and resolve a mysterious cause that affected her own village.
Shigin comes to Towa and Shinju Village from a faraway land, and players can tell since his speech mannerisms are different and difficult to understand. The nimble swordsman harbors pure hatred for Magatsu’s evil minions, the Magaori. Despite his cat ears and appearance, he will stop at nothing to eliminate the Magaori.
