- Farewell - 7 March 2023
We have some important news to share with you. It is with deep regret that we have to announce that Lince Works will effectively stop the development of new projects indefinitely, starting this April. We have been lucky enough to work on what we love for the past nine years, pouring our hearts and souls into creating immersive and entertaining games for you to enjoy, and we are so proud of what we have accomplished. But unfortunately, we have come to the end of our journey. The last couple of years have been particularly difficult as we shifted towards the development of new IPs and a new course for the company. We were ambitious about what we wanted to achieve as a studio, but sadly, although we made good progress, the economic context was not favorable and we ran out of time. It breaks our hearts to know that all the work we have done for the past year will ultimately not come to a co…

- Celebrating Aragami 2 first anniversary and the future of Lince Works - 16 September 2022
Aragami 2 is celebrating its first anniversary! We can’t believe it’s already been twelve months since players set off on an adventure in the Rashomon Valley, fighting the armies of Akatsuchi, wielding shadow powers, and sharing the journey with their friends. Many things have happened since then. Most of all, we’ve been listening to feedback from our players and fans. Our objective for Aragami 2 post-launch support was, first and foremost, to address the main issues that came up since launch - especially bug fixing and solving the multiplayer issues. We’re happy to say that we fixed these and many other problems reported during the latest months, and now the game is far more solid. Additionally, we also wanted to add new free features based on community feedback that we thought players would enjoy and improve the overall game experience. First is the addition of a photo mode, and an ad…

- Thank you from the Lince Works team - 17 September 2021
Dear Aragami fans, The time has come! Aragami 2 is finally launched and we cannot believe that we are finally at this pivotal moment. It feels like the end of a long journey, but it isn’t quite over yet. Our journey continues as the team works to make the game better and address any of the community’s concerns. And you? Your journey into Aragami 2 is just beginning and we hope you’re having a wonderful time. Even after the success of Aragami, the team couldn’t imagine we’d be launching a sequel that would incorporate all the features and ideas that didn’t come to exist in the first game. In fact, we didn’t even ask ourselves what we’d do after releasing the first game. But yet here we are, we made it! We’ve worked really hard during the last three years to bring you a new story in the Aragami world that we hope you’ll enjoy. It wasn’t all smooth or easy, as we faced many challenges over…
- Character Customization in Aragami 2 - 27 August 2021
Hello all! We’d like to share a closer look at the wide-range of personalization features available in Aragami 2. Character customization was one of the most beloved features in Aragami. We were overwhelmed by the impressive amount of players sharing their walkthroughs and also seeing them establishing their own identity combining different character skins and dyes. In this sequel we are taking character customization to the next level, giving players much more freedom. In Aragami 2, there are 11 different armor sets, made of 4 different parts – head, chest, pants and weapon. The armor sets do not grant you any mechanical advantages so you can dress your Aragami the way you want without having to compromise your stats or playstyle. Combine each part of armor as you like, creating your own armor set. And not only that… Dye each one of them with a wide variety of colours. Express yourself…

Hi everyone! In this brand new story trailer of Aragami 2, we introduce the main protagonist, Kurai, as he rises to become the last hope of the Kurotsuba clan, and pull players into the intense conflict that sets the stage for this ambitious sequel. Kurai is reborn to fight the Akatsuchi Empire in their conquest of the Rashomon Valley, and to free their people and find a cure for their curse. The new video is ripe with gameplay footage but also includes looks at Aragami 2’s cut-scenes, which were a staple established in the original game. It’s the perfect appetizer to prepare all the aspiring assassins for the main course in September! Aragami 2 takes the community and critically-acclaimed experience of the first title to new levels. Stealth is the foundation of the Aragami experience and, with the addition of a new combat system built from the ground up, players are no longer helpless…
