Voice of Cards The Isle Dragon Roars was unveiled at the most recent Nintendo Direct, with a trailer and a set release date. The new card-based RPG is a multi-platform Square Enix title from Yoko Taro, the director of the NieR and Drakengard series of games. It will also be produced by Yosuke Saito, the music will be directed by Keiichi Okabe, and the characters will be designed by Kimihiko Fujisaka, all three of whom have worked in either NieR or Drakengard or both.
Voice of Cards The Isle Dragon Roars Release Date: October 28, 2021
In a refreshing change of pace from the usual game announcements, Voice of Cards The Isle Dragon Roars actually has a set release date – and one that's only about a month away to boot. The game's demo is also available on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation Store, and Steam. The game promises an enchanting tale full of battles, choices, and a cast of many different characters.
To anticipate the nearing release date for Voice of Cards The Isle Dragon Roars, Director Yoko Taro also penned a message on the game's official PlayStation Blog announcement post:
“Hello. I’m Yoko Taro, the producer of Voice of Cards. That’s a lie. Creative director is my real job title. The job of a creative director is to have younger members create lots of different things and then say things like, “that’s pretty good, isn’t it?”, while sitting back on a cushy sofa, but recently, I don’t really get a chance to sit on that sofa. It’s all because of this work. Work is loathsome, work is loathsome, work is loathsome!! The fact that I’m in this situation at all is entirely the fault of Kimihiko Fujisaka, who creates the illustrations for this game. No, doing things like talking about members of the dev team is so inside-joke-like, which I really hate, but I just can’t go without sharing this one story, so please hear me out. A few summers ago, I visited the home of Fujisaka-san, who lives overseas. The place? Hawaii. Fancy, upscale apartment, wonderful pool, amazing nature… a mansion worthy of being lived in by someone who’s made it in life. No, I’m usually joking around all the time when I’m writing these, but it’s true. I’m dead serious. The lifestyle of a celebrity, enough to dazzle the eye. Fujisaka-san and I worked together on a project called Drakengard. We were supposed to be kindred spirits aspiring towards the same dreams… and yet, why? Where was it that the disparity between us grew so wide? I ground my teeth in frustration, so much so that I ended up getting two canker sores as a result. Six months after leaving my oral health in shambles, I received an email from Fujisaka-san out of the blue. What was written there was… oh, now that I think of it, I’ve just remembered that I was told, “Please provide a comment in about 500-600 characters,” by Square Enix, who is releasing this game. It seems that once again, I’ve worked too much. Please allow me to tell the rest of this story at a different opportunity, somewhere else. Until we meet again.”
Again, Voice of Cards The Isle Dragon Roars will hit its release date on October 28, 2021 for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Steam.
