Showa American Story, an action RPG set in an alternate timeline where Japan has taken over the US, is set to launch in 2025 for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam. According to Gematsu, the previously announced PS4 version has been canceled.
Despite its setting, Showa American Story isn’t being developed in Japan or the US. Instead, it comes from Chinese developer Nekcom Games and publisher 2P Games. Previously known for the surreal escape-room game Dying: Reborn, Nekcom is now stepping into the spotlight with this ambitious project.
A new trailer (below) has been released alongside the latest updates. My immediate reaction? I can’t wait to hit the road in a post-apocalyptic US, especially with a “weeb” president at the helm.
