Terra Battle, Hironobu Sakaguchi’s Latest Game, Launches On October 9

Mistwalker, the studio behind The Last Story, is going back to iOS for their next game. Terra Battle is a tactical role playing game where players lead warriors on a quest to discover who The Maker is. Instead of walking range, units in Terra Battle can move freely, but you only have four seconds to drag them around on the screen. Siliconera met with Mistwalker founder Hironobu Sakaguchi to talk about creating Terra Battle.

Terra Battle will be released as a free to play game for iOS and Android on October 9 in the West. Mistwalker will add more content to Terra Battle and perhaps add a Bearded Sakaguchi character as a boss if the mobile release gets enough downloads. It’s part of their "download starter" campaign with a console version as the biggest reward, if Terra Battle nets two million downloads.
