A Legendary Spiritual Successor

[Cassafras]

Inafune and Comcept released this video a few days ago, a trailer for an upcoming project called RED ASH. Now, whether it's going to be a game or an anime or something else is still unclear, it's pretty blatantly obvious this is meant to be a spiritual successor to Legends.



There are so many references and shout-outs here, it's beautiful.

RED ASH - RE DASH

It opens with "Some legends shape our lives... Some legends leave us with the promise of a new tomorrow... And some legends herald greatness, only to lose their way..." which quite clearly refer to Legends, Legends 2 and Legends 3, respectively; and then shows some very, very Legends-esque concept art with a few lines of voice acting. Ruins, Machines that are almost identical to Reaverbots, a truck with "TB Company" on it, a girl with a pin on her shirt that resembles the Bonne Logo with a stitched mouth that some Reaverbots sport... A lead male with brown hair, green eyes and an at least partially mechanical body, a girl who looks quite literally like a colour swap of Roll, and then behind them, a tall man who looks very much like a young Teisel, red eyes and all. Then we see the full title, "RED ASH: The Indelible Legend"

Then they tell us this is a collaboration between Comcept and Studio 4C, a fairly well-known anime studio; before finishing with some more comcept (please forgive the pun) art.

More info coming July 4th... so, today!

As an extra note, Inafune is also making a game called ReCore, which still sports lots of Legends-esque themes, though less blatant.

I really hope this game gets the support it deserves and I'll be backing it to the best of my abilities. It definitely nails the Legends vibe and I can't wait for a Legends-esque game where Inafune-san's team has no restrictions.

I know this is what comcept had been planning to announce for the E3 season, but I honestly think they should have waited much more than two weeks after Shenmue III's announcement. Preferably at least until after Mighty No. 9 was released in September. Many people, myself included, threw a huge chunk of their funds into Shenmue III's Kickstarter and are having a hard time recovering from it while also balancing living costs on top of another huge Kickstarter project emerging. I'm sure everyone wants to help Red Ash to their fullest, but many of its fans are struggling with tight finances. And Red Ash needs lots of help, just like every other Kickstarter project.

I think if Red Ash's Kickstarter was announced after Might No. 9's release, many people would see how great comcept's games with Beck and co. are and be more eager to support it and worry less about backing two comcept games before they even have one of them in their hands.

I'm still staying optimistic and will do my best to support Red Ash as much as my wallet will allow! I am at Inafune-san's beck and call!
