posted on by Jennifer Sherman
Crunchyroll announced on Thursday that Crunchyroll Games is now co-publishing the Grand Summoners game in partnership with Good Smile Company and NextNinja. The game will run a crossover event with the Goblin Slayer anime from June 6 to July 31. Crunchyroll began streaming a promotional video for the crossover campaign.
The crossover event will mark the first time that Goblin Slayer characters will appear in a smartphone game. Playable characters will include Goblin Slayer, High Elf Archer, and Priestess.
Grand Summoners launched for iOS and Android devices in Japan in November 2016. The game then launched worldwide in February 2018. Crunchyroll describes the game as "a real-time RPG with rich gameplay, strategic co-op battles, and epic anime storylines."
Elements Garden's Noriyasu Agematsu composed the game's music, and Tetsuya Kakihara, Saori Gotō, and Satoshi Hino provided vocals.
Crunchyroll Games is also publishing the Bungo Stray Dogs: Tales of the Lost and DanMachi: MEMORIA FREESE smartphone games. In addition, the company is assisting DeNA for marketing of its Attack on Titan: TACTICS, which is slated to launch in English this year.
