Bounty hunting RPG Metal Saga: Hangyaku no Rouka, previously known as Project Wolf, will launch for “Switch and more,” publisher Success and developer 24Frame announced during the Metal Max 30th Anniversary Live Stream. A PC (Steam) version is also being considered. It will support “Japanese and more.” A release date was not announced.
Here are the first details:
About
Mankind has become a threat to humanity.
The game is set in “a world where the threat of NOA as disappeared.” The enemies of mankind are the people of the world influenced by endless desire.
This is a story of resistance in a distorted world dominated by desire.
In the town of Rusty Garden, the resistance organization known as “Heaven’s Wall” established their base.
The protagonist is a well-known mid-level hunter , but loses their memory following a certain event…
Symbol Encounters
Although previous entries in the series used a random encounters system, all monsters with a bounty on their head will appear as symbols in Metal Saga: Hangyaku no Rouka. Since monsters act within their own ecosystems and thoughts on the fields and in dungeons, players can enjoy an even more realistic post-apocalyptic world. You can also avoid unnecessary battles by averting monsters.
Live Battles
With the change to symbol encounters, the more realistic battles now unfold seamlessly on the field. Combat can be described as a seamless transition from the series’ traditional command-based battles, with improvements made to prop up systems that were not well received in previous games.
Strategy
By utilizing a “Strategy” that makes it possible to eliminate the labor of repeated command inputs that was tradition in the past, repetitive tasks such as leveling can be done more comfortably. Characters whose Strategy is set to ON will act according to pre-defined guidelines. You can also switch between Strategies in battle based on the situation, such as in bounty battles.
Build Your Own Villa
Expanding upon the gifts system of interiors and costumes that was popular in previous titles, Metal Saga: Hangyaku no Rouka will allow you to have your own “villa” on a small, uninhabited island that you can freely cultivate. You can customize interiors, as well as construct various facilities, set up your own garage car wash, and even invite your favorite characters to live in your villa to create your very own hideout.
Publisher Kadokawa Games announced Project Wolf, a completely new RPG entry in the Metal Max sister series, during the “Metal Max 30th Anniversary Pre-Birthday Live Stream: A Wholehearted Thank You” live stream.

Project Wolf: Chapter One.
Dedicated, as always, to "Tucky".
It started with the heat. In retrospect, it must have been the heat. An abnormal wave had dragged the temperatures above the average for the season, making it one of the warmest spring months that had been had in some years.
Somewhere in the middle of a particularly hot April they went hunting.
There were four of them, a captain and three recruits - two male, two female. Clad in digital camouflage helmets, uniforms and armor they walked easily through the undergrowth of the woodland, armed with rifles, a stark black in color. Eyes flicking back and forth, they scanned the foliage ahead of them, proceeding as a small cluster. Every now and then there was a whisper among them.
"See anything?" The captain was a head taller than the tallest recruit, a blond fellow they called Aegon. His eyes were coarse blue color, and his voice was a deep grating sound. However, he was possibly the most easygoing in the squad. He turned to the captain.
"Nothing." He looked back into the tangle of green and wood tones. "You're sure there's anything out here?" The captain blinked at Aegon. He had no problem being called by his first name, or of being questioned, so long as the exchange was done with respect.
"Yeah. Brann said they'd be here. You know fiends work. Wild and secluded areas." Aegon nodded.
"So Declan," one of the females asked, "was there a sighting or was he projecting where they'd be?"
Declan, captain of the squad, paused to think.
"Both."
"Who saw it?" Aegon pressed. As he answered, Declan kept his eyes to the trees around the squad.
"Group of bird watchers."
"Bird watchers?" scoffed Ria, the girl who had spoken earlier. "You couldn't catch me dead out here."
"Well," said the other female, "you're out here now."
Ria glared at the speaker, although it was not easy with her eyes covered in a pair of silver, reflective shades. The other female was maybe an inch or three taller than Ria, with a rounder face and slightly more pronounced features. Her name was Tegan, and she found no issue with standing up to Ria's reaction.
"How can you see what's going on outta them things, anyway?"
"I can see well enough," Ria retorted. "That's none of your concern."
"Well," Tegan answered, quickening her pace so she was ahead of the recruit, "I'm just waiting for the moment when a fiend gets you because you can't see it." While the girl plowed further into the woodland, Ria let a smile crease her features. Their exchanges were by no means hostile; quite the opposite, in fact. The friendship of Ria Londonn, a girl of twenty with a slight frame and hair the color of obsidian with scarlet and bronze when the light hit it right, and Tegan Murray, who was the same age with a more lanky frame and light sienna hair that sometimes had been mistaken for a very dark blond, was built from deprecating humor and, when no one else was around, long talks about their lives and the future. It was their language, one that had been developed and perfected for the better part of a year. On a day when both girls were at ease and in good spirits, Tegan always knew what to say and when, it seemed. And Ria would always have a witty response.
"I'm not gonna have a problem," she called to the camouflage-clad back in front of her. "I'm waiting for you to trip on a log and land on your ass. Don't come crying to me when the fiends eat you!"
Tegan held her rifle in one hand, motioning with the other an impression of talking, flapping her fingers and thumb open and closed, adding her own voice with a high pitch.
"Mimimimimi! That's all I'm hearing from you right now," she said over her shoulder.
"Psh! Dumbass."
"Shhh! Get down," Declan took to the ground on one knee, barrel pointed to the undergrowth, painted a bright green by the sun as it shone through a break in the cover of trees. The rest of the squad did as bidden.
Sitting still made Tegan realize how warm she had become from walking; perspiration formed a gleaming layer beneath her helmet and on her face. She wiped at her eyes with a sleeve, trying to prevent them from burning as sun and sweat entered them. The squad began to focus as one on the place where Declan had indicated that something was going on.
The telltale sound of movement in the brush told Tegan what was happening. Sure enough, a large bug-like creature approached them, red spines growing from a green and blue scaly back. Declan voiced the squad's thoughts.
"A fiend!" He looked to the recruits. "This is your time. Aegon, Tegan, spread out and start shooting to weaken it. Ria, you know what to do."
"Right!" As the other two recruits took a place on either side of the fiend and opened fire, the girl hit her knees and laid her rifle aside. She placed her hands flat on the ground, concentrating. Tegan, Aegon and Declan's shots faded as Ria found that space, the corner of her mind that was directly connected to the earth. Her frame flickered and disappeared, claimed by the ground. Tegan turned between shots just in time to see her friend disappear. Her eyes widened.
"Declan, she's gone! Is that supposed to happen?!"
"It's all right," Declan didn't even look up from his sights. "Ria will be fine. Stand back, now!"
Tegan and Aegon retreated a few paces, still holding down the fiend with a barrage of bullets. While the openings in the fiend's flesh would seal up within minutes, cover fire was certainly a good distraction as it writhed against the healing and reopening wounds.
When is Ria coming back? Tegan wondered, just as another crash of undergrowth was heard. She turned to the noise, convinced another fiend had shown up. She was taken by surprise when the air around her stirred with a force that knocked her back a pace. Silver and blue leapt through the foliage, not stopping until the knot of animal hair and muscle had felled the fiend. Aegon gaped, as did Tegan; Declan smiled knowingly. A great silver wolf had the fiend by the throat, freezing its body by sheer contact and shattering its form with each snap of its mighty jaws.
In pieces with ice melting into pools of water, the fiend dissipated into a dark noxious smoke. The recruits froze, staring at the wolf before them. Hard blue eyes stared back; when they met Tegan's, the girl felt her legs threaten to give way. Declan stepped forward, until he and the wolf were inches apart. The beast stood at twice Declan's height. The captain of the squad was still smiling.
"Ria, good job."
The wolf turned, looking at him with eyes that said she understood what he was saying. Hearing the silver beast being called by her name gave Tegan an uneasy feeling, somehow. For a moment she could not believe her captain. This animal could not be Ria, the small wisecracking girl who had an aversion to the outside.
She could believe no one but Ria herself with silver hair and a tapered muzzle, and did when the wolf form dissipated into the wind and the girl remained, still in uniform, but exhausted.
"Holy shit," she breathed, "I can actually do it!" She was beaming. Tegan shook he head, but was also smiling. Their eyes met again, and as before, Tegan felt her composure falter. It wasn't in awe this time. She could feel a warmth in her cheeks, and a chill run from her breasts to her belly. She chuckled at her friend, but looked away quickly lest she be caught staring.
"Good job, you guys," Declan eyed Aegon and Tegan. "You've passed your test. This is the only one we know of, but we'll be patrolling for the rest of today to make sure. For now let's take a breather!" With grateful sighs and grunts of fatigue the squad sat down on the ground. The captain rested his back on a tree trunk, and Aegon lay amid the leaves on his stomach, arms folded before him. Tegan had selected a spot near a log soft with rot, and sat with one leg bent an the other extended, picking at the decayed wood as it crumbled to dust in her gloved hands. Shafts of light and heat penetrated the gaps in the emerald canopy; beneath the sun there was an air of fatigue, but also one of happiness.
"That wasn't so bad," Aegon looked at Tegan with a smile. "We're fiend killers!"
"That was all me and you know it," Ria stepped through the undergrowth, letting herself fall into a sitting position between the two. "Tegan, can you hand me my gun?" Her friend did as bidden, silent. Ria grabbed it, a wolfish grin playing across her face. Her eyes, a hard ice blue, glittered merrily. "Gimme dat!"
"It's yours anyway," Tegan retorted. Ria sighed. Tegan - the literal translator. Sometimes her taking jokes literally and reacting as such was endearing, save for the times when it was annoying. Keeping it close, she lay down on her back. Tegan took note of this, taking care not to get caught staring at her frame too long. Taking a breath, she stared back at the well-lit forest, her fingers idly toying with a patch of soft wood. As her mind began to wander in the power blue sky, a thought crept into her mind.
They had passed the test.
She, Aegon and Ria had been recruits of the Watch, a small group of warriors designated to eliminate the threat of fiends - creatures of unknown origin that had been appearing in the area. While Aegon and Tegan had been sought out for their skills in battle, Ria had had a different path from the beginning. She had been granted the power, the Gift from the Earth, as they called it. The wielder of the power was known as a summoner, and to train for calling forth their power the summoner had to spend hours in meditation following what was called the Way, until their power revealed itself, or awakened. Ria had been an apprentice summoner for a few months shy of a year, under the tutelage of Captain Declan himself.
It had not been until February that Ria's power emerged - a silver and blue wolf able to control the power of freezing, ice and the cold. Aegon and Tegan had understood the Way of the summoners - they had not known that Ria had awakened. Realizing this, Tegan eyed her friend, stretched out with her arms tucked behind her head, helmet aside next to her hip. Her dark strands were saturated wit sweat, and her eyes were closed. Tegan was loathe to disturb her peace, but had to ask.
"'Ey Vanilla Ice," he called, her voice a boisterous bark. Her friend waved her arms back and forth, doing an odd dance and singing "Ice, Ice Baby" in response. Tegan laughed, letting Ria cease her dance before continuing. Her tone grew quiet, so neither Aegon or Declan could eavesdrop.
"Why didn't you tell me you had your summon?"
Ria, still on her back, shrugged. "You never asked."
She was right, Tegan knew. In truth, she had been too insecure to bring it up, thinking herself nosy for even wondering about the progress of her friend.
"Well, I didn't want you concerned," Tegan said finally, "about my wanting to know."
"I'm not." After a moment's thought, Ria was on her belly, passing Tegan a smile, but with serious eyes.
"Should I be?"
Their eyes locked. Tegan could feel her insides stir, grow warm, then melt. A deep freeze you may be, but when it coo eye contact you can bring on heat like no other. The thought pressed on Tegan's mind as she watched Ria's face, wondering what ideas and feelings intermingled behind her ice blue eyes.
A crash of brush could be heard as Declan ran toward them from the dense forest, having gone on ahead to scout for fiends.
"Grab your weapons," he shouted, "there's a fiend right behind me, bigger than the last!"
