I went with Kyoei Toshi for the page title because, as far as I can tell, "City Shrouded in Shadow" is '''not''' an official title. Every English journalist has taken to calling it this, but the earliest mention I can find is a Gematsu article that links to the official site that (thanks to the Wayback Machine) only called it "プロジェクト巨影都市" (Project Kyoei Toshi). It's not even a particularly direct translation. If someone has a Twitter, they could probably ask @salromano (the author of the Gematsu article) where he got that name from (It may have been in a NB press release, but given there is no English announcement for the game I doubt it). --[[User:VladVladson|VladVladson]] ([[User talk:VladVladson|talk]]) 03:32, 22 September 2017 (EDT)

New Page

Created the page based on this trailer. World War 2 1911s (the most likely source of a 1911 in the setting) were all parkerized so the nickel/stainless finish says it's a civilian gun. The Makarov may be a PPK, but it's too distant to make out the distinguishing points and stainless/nickel PPKs are a lot less common than Makarovs with said finish. The mechs at 3:11 may be holding upsized versions of real weapons, but the shot isn't clear enough to tell. There is a chance 武藤克広 and 柴田亮二 have different readings of their names (It's a Japanese language thing. It's why the Japanese are are big on business cards.) as they aren't spoken in the trailer. --VladVladson (talk) 01:32, 6 July 2017 (EDT)

New screenshots for the labors have the same weapons from the Patlabor franchise. Ominae (talk) 05:34, 16 July 2017 (EDT)
