#nobunaga no yabou shutsujin

For Nobunaga no Yabou’s 40th anniversary, Koei announced a new AR app called “Nobunaga no Yabou: Shutsujin”. 

It will have a feature similar to Pokemon Go, where players control their in-game avatars’ movements by walking around in real life locations. Instead of simply sending units to conquer territories, players will need to physically walk to the territory they want to conquer. See below right, where the IRL location names and stations are labelled on the map:

There will also be in-game events, just like most other mobile games would. During the currently-ongoing beta test period, players are able to test out the Kawanakajima Battle event, but so far there’s no official posts describing what that looks like. The main website only says “See instructions in the game”. 

I’m not sure if players are allowed to share on social media their gaming experience, but we’ll see if there’s updates from the official accounts later.
