Onmyoji has its new update full of fresh content

NetEase has a deep well to dip into when it comes to sourcing new content for Onmyoji. The game’s background is set in the Heian period of Japan, when elaborated folktales of spirits – or shikigami – were fireside-chat favorites. In the world of Onmyoji, though, these stories are real. With this new update, the JRPG will add new shikigamis to its universe and new chapters this time.

The first new shikigami is Jinmenju. This powerful tree spirit has a grudge against humanity, and the vivid red flowers which bloom on his bark spell, is nothing but bad news for his enemies (on the other side, it’s good news for onymoji who commands him).

The other new shikigami is Inferno Ibaraki Doji. Once a celebrated warrior, Ibaraki Doji has since changed into a sinister, jaded being, whose favourite weapon on the battlefield is fire. Both new shikigamis are coming with special summoning events, increasing the summon rates. Keep an eye out on the official Facebook page for further details.

In addition, two new chapters are waiting to be unfolded. Chapter 27 gives out a challenge for players to solve a mystery. Villagers are being lured into the sea by someone – or something unknown – and are never to be seen again. It is, Onmyoji’s task to get to the bottom of it. Chapter 28 gives another new shikigami time to shine: Menreiki and her many masks.

Delve into new chapters and capture new characters in Onymoji’s new update; it’s now available on iOS and Android to download free.
