Shoumetsu Toshi new project announced, uses Unreal Engine 4

During an event held just moments ago, Wright Flyer Studios announced that a new 3D project in their popular Shoumetsu Toshi (or Annihilation City) series in Japan is currently under production and will be built using Unreal Engine 4. Along with a story-driven narrative, it will feature a healthy influx of RPG elements.

For those unaware, Shoumetsu Toshi tells the story of a young girl named Yuki who has mysterious powers along with a courier named Takuya. It appears they are the only two survivors left after all the citizens of a major metropolis suddenly disappear.
