Toji no Miko: Netherworld Rebellion (刀使巫女 隐世之乱 Pinyin: Dāo shǐ wūnǚ - Yǐn shì zhī luàn), also abbreviated as DSWN, was an upcoming action RPG mobile game based on the Toji no Miko original concept. It is promoted as a "game adaptation of the story of the anime series", allowing players to rediscover the history of Japanese swords, explore the Netherworld, slay the Great Aradama, and resolve the mystery that happened 20 years ago together with the Toji from the five Gokaden schools. The game was developed by Lightning Interactive Entertainment, a game development company based in Hainan, China.
Initially available for pre-registration, the game's official release was estimated for mid-2018. However, the official release was pushed back to an indefinite date due to the extension of the beta testing for the game. An ongoing internal beta test for the game took place in set periods of time, with a third internal beta test scheduled for May 30 to June 6, 2019. The game's last planned release date was Summer of 2019. The last official patch of the game was v0.1.0.5.0.15 on June 11, 2020.
On September 15, 2020, the developers announced that the development of the game will be stopped and the game will not enter official launch.[1]

Background[]
Toji no Miko: Netherworld Rebellion was planned to be a 3D MMOARPG (massively multiplayer online action role-playing) mobile game that combines character development, player-versus-player content, and social game features. It aimed to accurately recreate the featured characters from the series. The game used real-time battle mechanics, allowing accurate recreations of scenes involving the Origami family and the Five Traditions.
Gameplay Elements[]
- Full 3D Environment - The game features fully 3D graphics, with players traveling through multiple zones that may have Aradama spawning in real time. As of preliminary footage, there are 12 large zones and 23 smaller zones available. Notable zones include Minoseki Academy and the Origami Estate (Tournament Venue and Guest Quarters). As of April 12 footage, the interior of the Minoseki Academy Gymnasium and the overpass where the events of Episode 01 took place are also playable maps.
- Customizable player characters - Players can start the game using certain character presets, or make an original character from scratch. Characters can be customized based on hair style, affiliated school, and swordsmanship styles. There are currently three available schools (Minoseki, Heijou and Osafune) and three swordsmanship styles (Hokushin Itto-ryu, Yakumaru Jigen-ryu, and Nitou-ryu) in the game. Swordsmanship styles dictate the type of skills usable by the character in combat. As of April 12 footage, player characters no longer start under an affiliate Five Traditions school, and the customization was expanded into three body types, nine hairstyles, nine eye styles (including one with glasses), and three types of three casual clothing choices (upper, lower, shoes).
