Bandai Namco has revealed that That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: Isekai Memories will debut in the West in 2021.

The game is based on the Japanese light novel series That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime that follows a 37-year-old man reincarnating in another world as a common, typically weak JRPG enemy.

The novels have been adapted into multiple manga series and an animated series of the same name that began in 2018 and is currently airing a second season. Isekai is a popular genre of Japanese media themed with reincarnation in a new world, typically a fantasy setting.

Isekai Memories was revealed in March this year and became available for pre-registration in Japan, with an English version announced shortly after.

Isekai Memories will launch free-to-play and include in-app purchases and is expected to be released on November 22nd, 2021 and is now available for pre-registration on iOS and Android devices.
