Yep… Not exactly the news about Gurren Lagann anyone was waiting for, but there are some good things about this new mobile game. Klab (folks behind Bleach Brave Souls & more), Wanda Cinemas Games, and Aniplex have all come together to make a new mobile game based on the anime we all love, Tengen Topp Gurren Lagann. Based on the series of the same name by Gainax, the mobile game will be available in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Macau this Wednesday.
The nice bit about this even happening is studio Trigger, which is the studio that helped create the original and houses many former Gainax staff, is overseeing the strategy games development.
The game’s official youtube channel released a promotional video for the game back in October (see below). Regardless I’m excited about anything Gurren Lagann and if it’s successful enough I’m sure we’ll get a release overseas one day..
