Bandai Namco Entertainment has today officially confirmed that Gintama: Project Last Game will now have the final title of Gintama Ranbu. It will be released for PS4 and PS Vita. The teaser site for Gintama: Project Last Game has also been updated with the new title, and it reiterates that Gintama Ranbu will indeed become Gintama‘s last video game with the following catchphrase:
The real battle. The last game adaptation has started moving.
Game Watch also has a bit more information about the game, as well as a couple of screenshots to accompany it. Other than the series’ main protagonist Sakata Gintoki, two more characters have been also confirmed to be playable in the game, which are Shimura Shinpachi and Kagura. The Jump magazine also has an information not included in this news that Gintoki will also have his Shiroyasha attire available.
Gintama Ranbu‘s genre is dubbed Samurai War Action, and based on the screenshot below, where Kagura is shown launching a flashy attack on numerous enemies, we are assuming that this game may have a Dynasty Warriors-style gameplay.
Gintama Ranbu does not have a release date announced yet, but a new trailer for the game is expected to be shown by Bandai Namco at Tokyo Game Show 2017 on September 21-24.
