Metallic Child Receives Sakuna DLC!

Upcoming Switch and Steam title Metallic Child is set to receive crossover DLC with Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin. This has been helped by coincidence of the main characters of both games, Sakuna and Rona, sharing a JP voice actress - namely, Naomi Ohzora, and so became the basis of the decision to move forward with the collaboration. The news was announced on the IGN JP stream of BitSummit.

Details of the collaboration will appear at a later date. This is not the first time Sakuna has appeared in other games either - for example, Super Smash Bros Ultimate.

Slated for release on the 16th of September 2021. Metallic Child is described as a "rogue-lite core-action" game, listing the story synopsis as such:

“Grab, hurl, and eliminate”

A large-scale rebellion erupts within the spacecraft “Life Stream.”

With the help of you, Rona, an android known as “Metallic Child,” stands up against a fleet of massive robots to stop the plot devised by her own creator, Doctor Irene.

METALLIC CHILD is a rogue-lite core-action game, featuring Rona, an android known as “Metallic Child,” taking place in a space laboratory in the not-to-distant future.

A large-scale rebellion has taken place in the space laboratory Life Stream.

All robots aboard, with the exception of Rona and Pan, are conspiring to crash Life Stream into planet earth.

Rona has stood up to stop this plot, and you, of course, will be the one to guide Rona by accessing her control device through this game.
