Mugen Gaming recently announced that they’ll be translating Sword World 2.5 into English! The version making its way to English is the upcoming deluxe version, a 432 page A4 sized book that compiles the first three rulebooks into one volume. Crowdfunding starts in 2026, but a one shot PDF with basic rules will be available to those on the mailing list from the official site.
In the meanwhile, for those wanting to learn more about Sword World, I’ve written about it several times in the past. The first time was a look at the 2.0 starter box my friend ran for me and its gameplay. Next was a look at the 2.0 core rulebook. There’s also a look at some articles about its history and the transition between 2.0 and 2.5.
Very excited to see Sword World soon to join the list of translated Japanese TRPGs!
Wow!
