At this year’s Anime Expo 2024, Yostar Games announced that Jun Maeda’s Heaven Burns Red will be receiving an English release! The game is currently available on iOS, Android, and PC in Japan; however, what platforms the English release will be on has not been announced.
The game’s original launch was back in February 2022 after a two-year delay. KEY/Visual Arts are collaborating on the project as they have with Maeda’s previous works of Air, Kanon, and Clannad. Maeda also created works such as Angel Beats.
Yostar describes Heaven Burns Red as follows:
Besieged by mysterious life-forms known as “the Phage,” Earth teeters on the brink of ruin. All human weaponry proved futile against the Phage’s onslaught, and without any means to fight back, humanity has been forced to retreat. Land was forsaken, and nations were erased in the ensuing chaos. Now, over half of the Earth’s surface has been lost to the Phage.
With little time left and the danger of extinction looming, humans developed a brand-new, ultimate weapon called “Seraph,” and those endowed with Seraphim can finally fight against the Phage with vigor. Those who can master their Seraphim are gathered to create a special squadron, becoming humanity’s last beacon of hope. They have one thing in common: they are all girls with special talents. Among them stands Ruka Kayamori, poised to throw herself into the war against the Phage.
