Shangri-La Frontier anime game launches on mobile

• Shangri-la Frontier: The Seven Colossi now has an official release announcement
• Inspired by the popular anime about cutting-edge VR technology and underrated video games
• Experience dual-character gameplay designed for one-handed portrait mode

The "another world" genre frequently explores virtual gaming universes, with notable examples including Sword Art Online, Overlord, and Shangri-la Frontier. The acclaimed anime is now getting its mobile spinoff game, The Seven Colossi, confirmed through a newly revealed trailer.

Set in a future where VR dominates entertainment, high schooler Rakuro Hizutome specializes in conquering terrible, bargain-bin games. His life changes when he enters the premium MMORPG Shangri-la Frontier, discovering his bug-hunting and grinding abilities translate shockingly well.

The Seven Colossi adapts this virtual adventure for mobile platforms. Players can battle through SLF's world not only as Sunraku (Rakuro's avian avatar) but also as other key characters from the story.

Unexpectedly, character swapping becomes a core mechanic. The portrait-oriented controls let you effortlessly alternate between two heroes using just one hand - an inventive departure from traditional MMORPG design that enhances mobile playability.

Following over two years of radio silence since initial announcement, this surprise update feels true to the franchise's unpredictable spirit. Netmarble's release comes at the perfect time for fans, especially after Solo Leveling: Karma's recent reveal.

While mastering the game like Sunraku might be ambitious, our curated selection of the 25 best mobile RPGs for iOS and Android offers numerous opportunities to showcase your skills across fantasy and sci-fi worlds.
