Bandai Namco Entertainment Asia is pleased to announce that a new title, called SD Shin Kamen Rider Rumble, is scheduled for release on the Nintendo Switch™ and STEAM®. The game will be part of the beat ‘em up/hack and slash genre, while the concept of the game will be based on the movie, Shin Kamen Rider, which will be airing in cinemas in Japan in March 2023.

The upcoming movie, Shin Kamen Rider, will be made into a beat 'em up/hack and slash game. The crazy fight between Kamen Rider and SHOCKER will now be displayed in a SD visual style, with various kinds of power up systems that lie in wait for players to experience. We hope players will be able to enjoy fight scenes where they would be able to slash down enemies in a flash with their own final build.

Be beaten and rise again! Can you fight with Kamen Rider to ensure human beings stay human? Find your answer in SD Shin Kamen Rider Rumble!

The movie, Shin Kamen Rider, has been scheduled to be released in Japan in March 2023. It was announced that the film will be produced on 3 April 2021 – the 50th anniversary of Kamen Rider – and is meant as a new original work that respects the series.

The film has been written and directed by Hideaki Anno, who has created several blockbuster hits. The main character, Takeshi Hongo/Kamen Rider, is played by Sosuke Ikematsu – an actor who has created a name for himself in Japanese cinema. The heroine, Ruriko Midorikawa, is played by well-known actress, Minami Hamabe, while Hayato Ichimonji/Kamen Rider No. 2 will be played by Tasuku Emoto – a very talented individual who fits the role perfectly.

The best cast and crew in Japan today have poured their hearts and souls into the creation of Shin Kamen Rider – a story about good and evil, and how the fate of the world depends on one man who can save it from destruction.

There are a total of six low-class members of SHOCKER in the usual stages. Players will face various enemies and stage gimmicks that will keep them on the edge of their seats. Enjoy exhilarating one-on-one combat action and choose who to attack carefully!

The appeal of this title lies in the challenging battles against the advanced members of SHOCKER, who await you as the bosses of each stage. Read the enemies’ attacks and strike at the moment of opportunity.

Players might face defeat in the middle in the game, but the items that they collect will strengthen them and the Cyclone. If players are able to strengthen the Cyclone, they are able to skip the stages that they have cleared and get reinforced items to advance in the battle.
