Rance X: Showdown

About


Rance X is the 10th Rance game from the main series and features the finale of the series. The 28-year old series will finally end with the 10th installment, ending with it Rance's adventures.

The release date for the game was initially set for 2016 but on a blogpost near the end of the year the game was officially delayed with no official estimation for its release, though it is still presumed to come out in 2017.

The game will presumably take place in September of the year LP0007, around a year after the events of Rance IX. Since it's the series finale, the game is expected to adapt the last sections of the original Kichikuou Rance, where war breaks out between the unified forces of humanity led by Rance, and the winning faction of the Monster Realm led by Kayblis. Due to the way the canonical timeline was heavily changed from the original Kichikuou Rance, it is unclear how the Hornet Faction will be handled in the game.

The game was confirmed to be an RPG, and one that will feature a huge cast of characters. Since it's the series finale, characters from all the countries that appeared in previous games will show up again in one huge game. For this reason, it was confirmed that the game will not have 3D models like the previous game, and will instead work with sprite works for the sake of including the enormous number of character that will be present.
