NIS America has delayed God Wars: Future Past from its previously planned late March release date to June 20 in North America and June 16 in Europe in order to accommodate additional development and in-game balancing. The game was delayed to June 22 in Japan earlier today.

The strategy RPG explores the untold history of Japan through folklore and tactical combat. It will tell traditional stories about the origins of Japan through the lens of three warring nations, and promises a “massive expanse” of tactical options for players to develop battle strategies, including a “myriad” of character classes and equipment.

Here’s an overview of the game, via NIS America:

Story

A long time ago, there was a beautiful land made up of three nations: Fuji, Izumo, and Hyuga. This land was called Mizuho. The people of Mizuho disliked conflict, honored their ancestral spirits, and lived in harmony with nature. However, over time, they began cultivating crops, forging and using metal, fighting wars, destroying nature, and neglecting to honor their ancestral spirits.

In the meantime, various locations in Mizuho suffered from natural disasters like flooding, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions. In order to stop a destructive eruption, the Queen of Mizuho, Tsukuyomi, sacrificed her beloved daughter Sakuya to the mountain, confined her other daughter Kaguya within a bamboo seal in case of future disasters, and then disappeared. 13 years later, Princess Kaguya has grown into a beautiful woman and her childhood friend, Kintaro, saves her during a riot. She rises against her “fate to be a sacrifice,” and in order to follow her own path, they both escape from Fuji and journey across Mizuho to discover the truth behind Tsukuyomi’s decision.
