posted on by Jennifer Sherman
The official website for the Trinity Seven: Phantasm Library & Seventh Sol smartphone game revealed a teaser visual and story for the game on Thursday.
In the game's story, Arata Kasuga is a Demon Lord Candidate at Royal Biblia Academy, where he studies magic alongside beautiful female mages known as the Trinity Seven. One day, Arata and his companions face a Breakdown Phenomenon on a scale they have never seen before. Seven Black Suns appear overhead, and a large number of dangerous magical creatures appear from the Phantasm Library that engulfs the academy. Arata's body begins to turn transparent.
Somehow, it seems the Breakdown Phenomenon that the seven suns caused is interfering with Arata's past and erasing his present existence. The only way to save Arata is to stop the Breakdown Phenomenon hidden in the Phantasm Library's dungeon. However, Arata's memory will be reset in the dungeon that is Arata's past itself. In order to save Arata, the Trinity Seven head to the dungeon that is Arata's past. Along the way, they discover the reason for the seven sudden Breakdown Phenomena and the mastermind behind the appearance of the Phantasm Library.
The previously cancelled smartphone game for the Trinity Seven franchise is slated for release this spring.
The game will have an original story by manga writer Kenji Saitō, and will also include familiar characters and game-original characters. Characters will have special side stories after players level up their affection to those characters.
Game developer and computer graphics company Silicon Studio announced the social game in December 2017 with a planned release for smartphones and PC in 2018. The company then announced in November that it cancelled development on the game. Silicon Studio announced in June that it is executing a divestiture of its game development business by establishing the subsidiary company Creek and River to handle game development and management. Silicon Studio transferred 90% of its stocks to the new subsidiary.
Kenji Saitō and Akinari Nao launched the original Trinity Seven manga in the Monthly Dragon Age magazine in 2011. The series has inspired several spinoff manga. Yen Press is releasing the main manga in English.
The main manga inspired a 12-episode television anime series that premiered in October 2014, and Crunchyroll streamed the anime as it aired in Japan. Sentai Filmworks released the series with an English dub on Blu-ray Disc and DVD in August 2016.
Crunchyroll also began streaming the Trinity Seven: Eternal Library & Alchemic Girl film in March 2017. The film opened in Japan in February 2017. The manga is inspiring a second anime film that will open in Japan on March 29.
