Square Enix summoning Chaos Rings prequel & sequel for iOS

Despite its premium price, one of Square Enix’s earliest attempts at an original title for iOS is getting not one, but two follow-ups. The latest issue of Famitsu reports (via Andriasang) that Chaos Rings, which debuted on the App Store for an unprecedented $13 last year, will see a prequel, Chaos Rings Omega, released next month in Japan, followed by Chaos Rings 2 at a later date.

Available for iOS devices, the original game is a turn-based dungeon crawler with arena battles featuring four teams of two characters. Square Enix’s teaser ad for the Chaos Rings sequel doesn’t hint at what (if any) changes we can expect to that gameplay formula, but we’re hoping that, on the technical side, both it and Chaos Rings Omega are universal apps with iPad 2 enhancements to help soften the inevitable sticker shock.
