Honey Parade Games and Marvelous Entertainment announced another crossover between Shinobi Master: Senran Kagura New Link and the Ikki Tousen franchise.
This is certainly not the first, which is unsurprising considering the obvious points of connection between the two franchises.
This time around, the crossover is with the Shin Ikki Tousen manga by Yuuji Shiozaki that has been serialized since 2015 and will get an anime adaptation this spring.
The collaboration starts on January 20.
If you’re not familiar with Shinobi Master Senran Kagura: New Link, it’s a gacha game currently available only in Japan for iOS, Android, and PC.
According to recent financial releases by Marvelous, the game is doing well despite being several years old. While the franchise has returned to consoles recently with Neptunia x Senran Kagura: Ninja Wars (which is coming west in the spring), the mobile game has kept the series alive basically on its own for years.
Unfortunately, we haven’t heard anything about an English release over all those years, and we probably shouldn’t hold our breath. Marvelous doesn’t really seem to want our money.
