At today’s “Dessert de Otomate 2022”, a fan event for the women’s game brand, Otomate, Idea Factory announced the establishment of a new brand, Altergear.
The newly launched brand will be developing stories with male characters that focus on the friendship and bondings between men (without a female protagonist in between, if you may ask).
Currently, there are three titles in the lineup: “SOUKAITENKI”, “Shinjuku Rashomon”, and “DIG-ROCK -Documentary of Youthful Sounds-“. The three games will release for Switch and only SOUKAITENKI has confirmed its release in 2022. The website also hints that three more titles will be releasing under this branding in the future.
▍Altergear’s Objectives
Idea Factory describes the new brand:
“Moving up a gear and changing at an accelerated pace―
In the midst of constant change and the pursuit of trends
We will push forward with a vigor that will allow us to overtake them.
Focusing on novel games with male characters as the main characters
stories that focus on their friendship and bond.
Many more releases are planned.”
