Multiple live events with voice actors and Kadokawa Games developers will be held. A giant rock-paper-scissors competition will be held as well, and exclusive goods will be sold at the venue.
Kadokawa Games organizes this event each year, but it’s usually simply called the “Kadokawa Games Dai Kanshasai”.The fact that they’re adding “big” in the title for the 2019 edition further hints at big announcements coming.
No platforms have been announced yet for the nextMetal Maxgame,God Wars 2andRoot Letter 2, meaning we should learn more about that at the event as well.
Metal Max XenoDirector Hiroshi Miyaoka and Producer Juntaro Kouno recently teased thata newMetal Maxgame is in developmentand how an official announcement would be coming soon. The last game in the series isMetal Max Xeno.
Kadokawa Games announcedRoot Letter 2back in 2018, along withRoot Letter: Last Answer,which is releasing on September 3 on PS4 and Switch in the west.A Hollywood adaptation ofRoot Letteris also in production.
Iris member Yuu Serizawateased back in 2018she is involved inGod Wars 2.
Iris is an “idol seiyuu” group, with the 6 members regularly voicing anime characters. Iris reached peak popularity by regularly voicing characters in thePretty Seriesidol franchise by Takara Tomy, which containsPretty Rhythm, King of Prism, PriParaandKiratto Pri Chan. Yuu Serizawa most notably voiced the character Ann Fukuhara inPretty Rhythm Rainbow Live. All six Iris members voiced the six main character inPriPara,and three members of Iris are currently voicing three of the main characters inKiratto Pri Chan.
Taking this into consideration, it’s very likely Iris members will be voicing characters inRoot Letter 2or other upcoming Kadokawa Games works rather than simply singing a theme song.
