Aragami, which functioned as a game with samurai to combat the hype for Ghost of Tsushima, has been the most outstanding work of this study that is now heartbroken “to know that all the work we have done over the past year will not finally be completed“. In fact, both this game and its sequel can continue to be purchased on all platforms and stores, while maintaining their online functions.
