Any Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Ayaka Sato) is pleased to announce that a special interview regarding the planning and production of the entirely new Nintendo Switch™ title, 'Tensei Game', has been published on the gaming media outlet 'Den Fami Nico Gamer', featuring advisor Yuji Horii, original creator Muneyuki Kaneshiro, and initiator Yoshimasa Muromatsu.

Background of the Interview This project has gained attention as the first collaboration between Yuji Horii, the creator of 'Dragon Quest', and Muneyuki Kaneshiro, known for works such as 'Blue Lock'. The interview reveals exclusive development stories, such as "Why a board game?" and the background behind the concept of "guaranteed to ruin friendships," as well as the creators' passionate commitment to the work.

About the 'Tensei Game' Project This is a brand-new title scheduled to be released by ArtePiazza Inc. in 2026. Based on themes of "reincarnation," "karma," and "fate," it is a board game where players compete to "reincarnate" by knocking each other down, and is being developed with the concept of being a "game that is guaranteed to ruin your friendships with friends" the closer you get to winning.
