Project Star of Valiance

Project Star of Valiance is an upcoming crossover hack-and-slash action role playing game developed by Nintendo, Square Enix and Koei Tecmo's Omega Force. The game is a collaboration between Nintendo and Square Enix who worked on various collaborations such as the first time's Super Mario RPG as well the latest Fortune Street and Mario Sports Mix.
The game combines signature elements of various genres: Dynasty Warriors' over-the-top hack-and-slash action, Mario series' platforming, The Legend of Zelda's exploration and Final Fantasy's aspect of role-playing, creating the game as an Action RPG. Because of Nintendo's unique kind charm, the game is toned to match every charm of the franchise while keeping its' identity intact. The story focuses on an soon-to-be-named Avatar being trapped in the universe or galaxy filled with various Nintendo worlds. In order to go back to his own world, Avatar is tasked to rescue the Star Spirits as held hostage by a certain villain, and vanquish the source responsible of unleashing darkness into the galaxy in the forms of monsters called Daemons. Realizing he cannot undertake the task alone, at some point he is accompanied by first four permanent allies which are the residents of the Mushroom Kingdom: the iconic Mario and his brother Luigi; the kingdom's sovereign Princess Peach; her retainer and the leader of Toad Brigade, Toad, and various Nintendo and Square Enix characters spread across worlds, resolving various problems happening on the galaxy.
Koei Tecmo's Hisashi Koinuma directs the game, while the production is handled by Kou Shibusawa and Nintendo's own Yoshiaki Koizumi, who is also the producer for Super Mario Odyssey. Character designs and Daemons will be handled by Tetsuya Nomura known for providing various illustrations for Square Enix titles. Music compositions and arrangements from already existing tunes will be provided by Yuzo Koshiro who is known for Streets of Rage, Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune and Etrian Odyssey series of games; Yoko Shimomura, known for Kingdom Hearts, Mario and Luigi games and her recent work Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope; and Yasunori Nishiki known for Octopath Traveler and Yu-Gi-Oh!: Master Duel.
