Onigiri MMO coming to consoles next year
The Japanese mythology MMO, Onigiri, is officially on its way to the Xbox One (and PlayStation 4) next year in North America and Europe, Windows Central reports. The title, which is developed by Cyberstep, will be free-to-play and is already live on the Xbox One in Japan. Onigiri came out on the PC in 2013. The console version may have patches slightly lagging behind the PC version, but it will otherwise be identical in form and function. There will be no cross-over play between platforms. While Windows Central says that this will be Xbox One's "first MMO," that overlooks the already-released Destiny and The Crew as well as other titles on the way, including Elder Scrolls Online, PlanetSide 2, All Points Bulletin, Neverwinter, The Division, and Warframe.

The Xbox One's Japanese launch lineup, reported by Siliconera, includes a number of North American launch-window releases like Call of Duty: Ghosts, Dead Rising 3, and Crimson Dragon, along with more recent games like Strider, Titanfall, and Murdered: Soul Suspect. Konami will support the hardware launch with Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes, and Tecmo Koei will offer a port of Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate. CyberStep's free-to-play MMORPG Onigiri, announced as a PlayStation 4 exclusive in North America, will also be available for the Japanese Xbox One at launch. Microsoft additionally revealed (via Gematsu) that a handful of region-exclusive releases are on their way to the Xbox One in Japan in the coming months. Announced titles include Hamster's simulation game Azito, Qute's Natsuki Chronicle, Triangle Service's shoot-'em-up compilation Shooting Love Trilogy, and a new entry in Moss' long-running Raiden series.
