News: New Time Travelers Plot Details

We finally have some more details about Level-5's 3DS game Time Travelers.

In addition to the announcement that the upcoming Nintendo 3DS game Time Travelers by Level-5, the studio behind Professor Layton, Inazuma Eleven and Ni No Kuni, will also be released for the PSP and PlayStation Vita the newest issue of Famitsu, courtesy of Andriasang, gives plenty of information about the game's plot. Of course this means that this news report contains spoilers so stay clear if you don't want the storyline ruined.

Taking place in the year 2031 wherein Tokyo has become a very futuristic city with holographic street signs and a building called the 'Space Elevator', although despite its name it is merely a power source. 18 years earlier a giant mysterious hole, dubbed the "Lost Hole", emerged over Tokyo and the accompanying explosion devastated much of the Japanese capital and claimed many lives in the process.

Time Travelers is set to bring together an array of characters from across Tokyo. Famtisu gives details about a number of characters that will be featured in the game. The characters vary in personality and backgrounds, from the cop Kamiya Soma whose wife and children are being held hostage while he is forced to engage in terrorist activity to the formally genius Shindo Kyugo who has turned into a con man by pretending to be building a time machine and convincing people to donate.

Other characters include Ressentiment, a hero who patrols the streets while wearing cosplay. However in real life he is a 30 year old unemployed college drop out who survives off donations from his father and has recently been through a break up. Fushimi Hina meanwhile is a rebellious television announcer who wishes to be a news reporter, so in order to achieve this she is pursuing the truth behind the terrorist organisation Dokuro no Kaijin.

Finally the magazine outlines the teenage Fukase Yuri who is in his third year of high school in Tokyo. He is a childhood friend of Mikoto, who featured in the original Time Travelers teaser video released some time ago. Taciturn in nature Fukase doesn't speak to many people but he is good at both sports and his studies.

With Level-5 World taking place this weekend in Japan we should expect a lot more information.
