In a hardly surprising announcement, the Black Rock Shooter franchise will be getting a mobile game titled Black Rock Shooter FRAGMENT. Black Rock Shooter FRAGMENT will be launching in Japan sometime Fall 2022, brought to you by Good Smile Company and G2 Studios. Its associated official website and Twitter account has been established, for you to check on updates for.

The franchise spawning from an illustration by huke is celebrating its tenth anniversary, with a new anime project – called Dawnfall, coming April 2022 – also in the works besides this mobile game. It was a matter of time considering the popularity of mobile games and franchises releasing these titles as part of their anniversaries in Japan.

Staff listed for the game project has been helpfully provided in English and roman letters, which includes:

• Scenario / script writer: Ichiro Sakaki, Okina Kamino
• Design direction: huke
• Teaser visual: Rui Tomono
• Logo design: Hiroto Sugawara

The game’s story will take place in the 22nd century, where you will have a fateful encounter with a girl whose eyes burn with blue flame as you begin to fight back against some hostile force. There’s no hint of what the game would actually be like for now, so you’ll have to stay tuned for that. The English BRS portal hasn’t mentioned this title, presumably as there’s no plans for a global release yet, while the Japanese site does.
