The Goblin Slayer anime series is getting a video game called Goblin Slayer Another Adventurer: Nightmare Feast. The game will tell an original story and will be available on Nintendo Switch and PC in both Japanese and English.
A release date and other information for Nightmare Feast have not been announced at this time. This is the third video game adaptation for Goblin Slayer IP, after Goblin Slayer: The Endless Revenge, released for mobile devices in 2019, and Goblin Slayer: Endless Hunting, released last December for browsers.
Judging by the title, the game will likely introduce a new adventurer. The series doesn’t revolve around fully named characters, instead introducing classes like Priestess, Archer, Shaman, Guild Girl, and Sword Maiden, not to mention the Goblin Slayer of the same name himself, so perhaps a new class name is on the way.
Also, since the genre of the game is not specified, we can conclude that the game will be an RPG or a tactical RPG. This is because the theme of the series is about adventurers controlled by gods or game masters, just like in tabletop RPGs. The story also makes it clear that the fate of the characters is always a “roll of the dice” and makes repeated references to this concept, so the story could include similar tabletop mechanisms when adapted into a video game.
Goblin Slayer currently has an anime season that captures the content of the first four light novels, and a sequel, Goblin Slayer: Goblin’s Crown, which adapts the events of the fifth light novel. The series is licensed for English editions through Yen Press, which has so far published 14 volumes of the 15 available Japanese volumes. Volume 16 of the story will be published in Japan next July.
Endless Revenge game ended its service in 2020, but Endless Hunting is currently available for players worldwide via link provided by the official account. As the name suggests, the game allows players to enjoy endless adventures and battles against goblins. Voice actors Goblinslayer Yuuichirou Umehara and Yui Ogura also reprise their roles as main characters Goblin Slayer and Priestess.
