[Tokyo, Japan – February 19, 2025] – Akatsuki Games Inc. is excited to announce that pre-downloads for TRIBE NINE, the brutal, action-packed single-player RPG, are now available! Players can pre-download the game on iOS App Store and Google Play Store ahead of its global launch on February 20th. Jump into the dystopian world and prepare to fight for freedom in Neo Tokyo, where a ruthless masked figure known as Zero has turned survival into a deadly game. Join the battle, defy the madness, and take the fight to the enemy. Download now to enter Neo Tokyo the moment TRIBE NINE launches.

Set in the year 20XX, players venture through the vibrant but overrun city of Neo Tokyo to take down formidable enemies in an effort to liberate its citizens from the ruthless Zero using gear and techniques from the beloved Extreme Baseball (XB) sport. With total control over the city, Zero has turned all conflict into Extreme Games (XG)—high-stakes battles where lives are on the line. To break free from this brutal system, you must liberate the city’s oppressed districts and take back control. The fate of Neo Tokyo—and those who call it home—rests in your hands.

• STORY: It’s the year 20XX. Neo Tokyo is under the iron rule of a mysterious masked man known as Zero, who has declared that all affairs be settled through his invention, “Extreme Games” (XG). As these merciless rules turn citizens’ lives into mere playthings, a group of young rebels forms a resistance. Armed with techniques and gear inspired by their beloved “XB (Extreme Baseball),” they join forces to reclaim their stolen dreams and restore freedom to Neo Tokyo.

• BATTLE: Engage in dynamic three-person team battles. Each playable character boasts unique skills and actions, offering a range of playstyles. Additionally, your team members will intelligently adapt to each situation and support you in battle. They can draw enemy aggression, heal your wounds, and coordinate powerful attacks with your controlled character to turn the tide of combat.

• XB (Extreme Baseball): "XB (Extreme Baseball)" is one of the game's biggest features and is a special battle mode that is very different from regular battles. "XB" is the characters’ beloved dueling method, featured in high-impact 3D cutscenes. 

• EXPLORATION: Progress through the story by navigating the 2D pixel-style overworld of Neo Tokyo. Beyond battles, you’ll uncover treasures, tackle mini-games, and fulfill requests from locals in each area. From hidden chests to unexpected side quests, every corner of Neo Tokyo teems with surprises waiting to be discovered.
• FREE-TO-PLAY EXPERIENCE: Immerse yourself in a richly layered narrative steeped in Japanese-style storytelling and enjoy a deeply engaging gameplay experience—all available for free (with optional in-app purchases).

Prepare to step into a world where every battle is extreme and every tribe has something to prove. Eager players can pre-download the game on the iOS App Store and Google Play Store ahead of the global launch on February 20th JST. Stay up to date with the game by visiting the official site and following the game on X/Twitter and YouTube.
