The other day, the official Bakuken Twitter released the first news regarding next year’s Bakuken 2 news!
Translation of the above tweet:
Winter 2022. In the capital city of Tokyo, when people’s hopes and dreams have become stagnant… There within the shadows, untouched by the light of the moon, a man is murdered… a man known as “Oda Nobunaga”… What sights will these reincarnated swordfighters discover in the present age, 100 years later…?
