Hello everyone! We are Chaos Manufacturing, an independent development team whose mission is to combine combat, story and music in harmony to create a gaming experience that players will never forget. We’re excited to reveal our debut game, SOL Shogunate, a single-player third-person action RPG that brings fluid, spectacle-driven combat to a science-fiction universe that pays homage to the majesty of Japanese feudal tradition. The game takes place in a surprising alternative future where the way of the sword is the law.
A destroyed heir, a stolen legacy
Players take on the role of Yuzuki, a lone survivor of a once powerful samurai family. After a rival clan massacres her family, she becomes a ronin and carves a bloody path of revenge through the moonlit megacities. These “moon glass” cities create artificial gravity for their inhabitants, enabling sustainable life on the Moon and diverse ecosystems. The shogunate’s infrastructure also includes wonders such as space elevators, high-speed rail, and districts that maintain a semblance of earthly cultural amenities. Beneath the brilliant skylines lie extensive industrial zones where unnoticed workers toil to maintain the shogunate’s influence.
Yuzuki’s story takes her deeper into the heart of the lunar frontier, revealing the forces that have shaped her past and threaten her future.
Sword play from the past and the future
Combat in SOL Shogunate places an emphasis on precision, timing, and adaptability. Yuzuki is the ultimate space samurai, genetically engineered for the future of combat, and a master of classically designed weapons redesigned for the battlefields of tomorrow. Players can utilize different types of energy to attack to expose weaknesses, stun enemies, and create recent tactical opportunities. As her skills grow and her upgrades evolve, recent techniques change the flow of battles and the way players defeat increasingly risky enemies.
An unforgettable action
Music is like a code for emotions, and a great song can make any experience more memorable. One of our goals is to combine exhilarating gameplay with amazing, original music that will get your heart rate racing. Our epic encounters will be a combination of choreography and visual spectacle, each set to music that responds to the action on screen. We collaborate with Japanese rock artists, including AliA, to create multi-stage encounters that should feel like performances in electrifying music videos, with each beat amplified by thrilling, emotionally charged songs.
Lunar cities shaped by history
SOL Shogunate is Chaos Manufacturing’s love letter to Japan, as each member was deeply inspired by its history, culture and media. For example, each metropolis on the Moon draws inspiration from a different era in Japanese history. These environments act as both living spaces and a reflection of the shogunate’s reach throughout the solar system. To navigate these zones, players will traverse vertical districts using gravity-assisted equipment and even explore hidden layers within each biome, discovering clues that will unlock the secrets of the SOL Shogunate’s prosperous history.
Looking to the future
Chaos Manufacturing is still in its early stages of development in SOL Shogunate. Visit the official SOL Shogunate website for the latest updates!
