Bushiroad is planning a The New Prince of Tennis game for Switch, the company revealed today. Additional information, including a release window, was not provided. Bushiroad merely dropped the short announcement on Twitter without sharing anything else about what fans can expect from the project.
The Prince of Tennis is a Japanese manga series from Takeshi Konomi. Between July 1999 and March 2008, it saw 379 individual chapters and forty-two volumes. In the middle of its run, Trans Arts made an anime that spanned 178 episodes.
Thanks to PIE International, Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin is getting an official art book. It will include character designs plus sketches, prop designs, background art, package illustrations, and more. The book will also have comments from director Nal, main artist Ryota Murayama, and Koichi (general / planning assistance).
What might be the most noteworthy aspect of the book is that it will actually feature English text. It’ll be included right alongside all of the Japanese information. The book has thus far only been announced for Japan, but even if we don’t see it in North America / Europe, importing will be an option. Play-Asia actually already has pre-orders here.
Below are a few preview pages from the Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin art book:
