Much to our surprise a few days ago, DeNA announced that Blood Brothers 2 is currently in development and will be released sometime in 2015. For those curious, Blood Brothers 2 is the sequel to the hit epic fantasy role-playing game Blood Brothers which is played by more than 35 million users worldwide since its release in 2011. Set one century after the time of the first game, Blood Brothers 2 places players back into the fantasy world of Arnashia for a tale of loyalty, betrayal, ambition and revenge. Players must build and recruit their armies as they wander treacherous lands, uncover hidden conspiracies and fight battles to bring peace back to the world.

Blood Brothers 2 also features an in-depth, strategic PvP (player vs. player) mode so gamers can team up with friends and defeat enemies. From there, destiny is in the hands of the players with weekly in-game events which will allow users to choose their fate and determine the flow of the game’s story.

“Blood Brothers was massively popular, spending seven consecutive months as a top 10 app on US Google Play’s top grossing chart,” said Kaz Kondo, Head of DeNA Studios West. “Having worked on the original, we know what fans liked most about the game. We want to deliver again the fast-paced RPG battles and iconic characters fans enjoyed, but we’re also introducing new art style and spellbinding adventure that will be fun and fresh for everyone.”
