It looks like this project is getting the royal treatment.

Earlier today, game publisher FuRyu hosted a live streaming event. During the show a teaser trailer, as well as the show’s core staff were unveiled. The show’s official website also updated with a pair of key visuals. We break the details down below.

Trailer

The 81-second promo is presented more like a music video, with harsh cuts and copious visual effects. Reina Ueda’s Distorted † Happiness (Anime Re:Arrange Ver.) plays as a background track.

Key Visuals

The two visuals feature a conflic, split in twain. On one side, warriors stand against a white background and a rose. On the other, combatants await against a black background and a blue lily.
