That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime is an alternate universe anime with a new and strange twist. The main character is reborn as a light blue slime after his untimely death in his world, and decides that the best thing he can do with his new life is to try to unite the various races of the earth. After the success of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: ISEKAI Memories, it's no wonder we're seeing a second game coming out.
That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: ISEKAI Chronicles release date
BANDAI NAMCO has announced that That Time I Was Reincarnated as a Slime: ISEKAI Chronicles will be released in 8 August 2024. It's great to see the game has a set release date attached to it, rather than a vague 2024 release window. However, keep in mind that release dates can be pushed back up to a few weeks before the game hits store shelves and digital stores.
This is the second game coming from the That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime series. The first one I mentioned earlier (That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: ISEKAI Memories) was only released for mobile. If you haven't played it yet, ISEKAI Memories might help keep you occupied before the new action RPG is released this summer. ISEKAI Memories can be found at both Google Play and the Apple Store.

Is ISEKAI Chronicles the same as ISEKAI Memories?
No, it's a completely different genre of game! That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: ISEKAI Chronicles is an action RPG and is the first console and PC game of the Tensura series, making it unique from ISEKAI Memories. ISEKAI Memories is only available on mobile platforms, and was designed as a 3D game, while ISEKAI Chronicles is a 2D side scroller.
What is the story behind That Time I Was Reincarnated as a Slime: ISEKAI Chronicles?
That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: ISEKAI Chronicles follows the original story that took place in the light novel series, including the encounters with the Kijin and the Kingdom of Falmuth. This is a perfect game for fans of the anime but haven't gotten into the light novel or manga series.
The main character starts out as Satoru Mikami, an ordinary 37-year-old office worker living in Tokyo. He seems quite content with his dull life until he is stabbed by an unknown assailant. He is reborn in what appears to be a fantasy world, full of magic and creatures he has never seen before. Oh, and he's slime. That is important.
After getting to grips with his new abilities, he meets Storm Dragon as Veldora. Veldora has been sealed away for the last 300 years, and Satoru befriends him, promising to help break the seal. They decide to exchange names, Veldora calls him “Rimuru”, and Rimuru renames him “Tempest” in return. Using his ability, Rimuru consumes Tempest and his prison, hoping to later free him.
Tempest's disappearance causes a power vacuum in the forest, which Rimuru fills, hoping to bring harmony to all the races of the earth. His rise to power and success in creating a great nation gains the attention of close friends and enemies.
What else will That Time I Reincarnated as a Slime: ISEKAI Chronicles do?
The original author, known only as “Fuse”, will include two additional stories that have not been seen before. Players will also see new characters, designed by the original illustrator of the series: Mitz Vah.
Discover the nation of Tempest, take part in nail-biting battles and enjoy throwing down some attack combos to really show your power.
