World & Lore

Blighted Japan, Year 4026

A world where forests burst suddenly from the wasteland and the blight reshapes everything it touches. This is the gazetteer of the places Emma and Koo travel, and the lore behind them. Details come from official material and previews, marked expected until launch.

Blight Forest

Blight Forest ● Confirmed

Wasteland & Blight Forests

Region · The Overgrown Wilds

Between the ruins of Beast of Reincarnation's Japan lies a wasteland where forests erupt suddenly from the dead ground — vertical, overgrown and built for Emma's traversal.

Colony

Colony ● Expected

Mountain Colonies

Region · Humanity's Refuge

As the blight spread, humanity retreated into isolated mountain colonies. These walled refuges are the human heart of Beast of Reincarnation's world — and no easy home for Emma.

Ruins of the Old World

Beneath the blight lie the ruins of a fallen advanced age — the source of Beast of Reincarnation's machine malefacts and the science-fiction half of its far-future Japan.

Mountain ● Expected

The Sacred Peaks

Region · The High Country

Above the blight, the mountain heights frame Beast of Reincarnation's world — the high country where colonies cling on and where the air, for now, is clearer.

The Blight

Core Lore · The Corruption

The blight is the parasitic force at the heart of Beast of Reincarnation — infecting plants, animals and people, creating the malefacts, and defining Emma's existence.
