Crunchyroll and Square Enix announced that Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth, the first entry in the JRPG series, will the Crunchyroll Game Vault for Mega Fan and Ultimate Fan subscription tiers on April 30, 2025. It is the first game appearing in honor of the company’s annual Ani-May celebrations. It will be followed by five other games. 

In Valkryie Profile, Odin and Freya wake a valkyrie to gather Einherjar, newly departed humans, to fight as warriors in Ragnarok. Each chapter gives you a limited number of time to see stories and go through dungeons to find allies, and you must send people who meet Odin’s requests each time. Depending on our actions, we learn more about the situation and Lenneth herself, earning different endings. This is the first of four games in the series, which first showed up on the PlayStation, and this version of the title is based on the updated PSP release that also launched on other platforms.

Here’s the trailer for the announcement.

While we know the exact day Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth will the Crunchyroll Game Vault, the other five games don’t have exact release dates yet. The company only noted they’ll appear between May 2025 and June 2025. Here’s the full list of other games:

Good Smile Company announced three figures of Steins;Gate characters Kurisu Makise, Mayuri Shiina, and Suzuha Amane in swimsuits, and they can be purchased separately or together in a bundle. Alone, they cost ￥18,700 / $193.99 each. If you buy all three at once, they are ￥55,000 / $565.99. These will launch in Japan in May 2026, with a worldwide release coming sometime in Q4 2026. All of them are based on their appearances in the games and anime.

All of these are static figures. So you can’t change face plates or arm parts to alter their expressions or poses. However, each one does feature a different position so they can be paired together or showcase various poolside activities. Kurisu is holding an innertube that matches her swimsuit and a soda. She’s also still got her necktie on from her daily attire. Suzuha, given her background, is holding a water pistol. Meanwhile, Mayuri holds a transparent beach ball that resembles the Metal and Fairy Upa from the series.

Each one of these characters is a 1/7 scale figure. That means they’ll all be between 9-11 inches tall. So Kurisu is about nine and a half inches (240mm). Suzuha is slightly taller, since she’s holding her pistol up, but she’s still around 10 inches (260mm). Mayuri is the tallest, since she’s holding the beach ball up over her head, so she beats the other too and reaches for almost 11 and a half inches (290mm). 

Here are two official photos of all three of the Steins;Gate characters together, so you can get a sense of scale for all of the figures.

And here are some close-ups that offer better looks at Kurisu, Mayuri, and Suzuha’s faces.

Finally, there are Good Smile Company Store bonus items available. One is only available if you buy the bundle that includes all three figures. The other three are piecemeal items that come when you buy just one. Collector’s cards of Kurisu, Mayuri, and Suzuha come with the solo figures. If someone buys the collection, they get a 60cm x 40cm tapestry that features the art of all three heroines in their swimsuits.

Here’s how those bonus items look:

The Steins;Gate figures of characters Kurisu Makise, Mayuri Shiina, and Suzuha Amane in swimsuits will come to Japan in May 2026 and launch worldwide in Q4 2026. Pre-orders are open until June 4, 2026. The original game is available on the PS3, Vita, and PC worldwide, and it also appeared on the PS4, PSP, Xbox 360, and mobile devices in Japan. Steins;Gate Elite is available on the Switch, PS4, and PC worldwide, as well as the Vita and mobile devices in Japan. The anime is streaming on Crunchyroll.

Dramatic Create and HuneX announced the release date for its Switch port of one of the Comfort Arcana Famiglia otome games that originally appeared on the PSP and Vita in Japan. Arcana Famiglia: La storia della Arcana Famiglia Ancora will appear as La storia della Arcana Famiglia: Rinato on the console on July 24, 2025. The official website noted a PC version is also on the way, but there’s no exact release window for it yet. 

The Arcana Famiglia otome games all deal with mafia stories and more battle-hardened love interests. In many cases, the heroine ends up being head of a gang or part of a “family.” That’s the case here. Your heroine is daughter of the Arcana Tarocco boss, and now that her father is stepping down he is looking for a successor. That could be her or one of his underlings. As you go through the adventure, your avatar can end up romancing Debito, Dante, Jolly, Liberta, Luca, Nova, and Pace. The story may sound familiar, as Sentai Filmworks released the anime adaptation La Storia Della Arcana Famiglia outside Japan.

Here’s the latest trailer for La storia della Arcana Famiglia: Rinato, which does feature some English text as the full game will be available with English, Japanese, and both Simplified and Traditional Chinese subtitles.

And the full list of voice actors is also available. While subtitles are available in multiple languages, only Japanese audio will be available.

• Dante: Jurota Kosugi
• Debito: Hiroyuki Yoshino
• Jolly: Koji Yusa
• Liberta: Jun Fukuyama
• Luca: Yoichi Nakamura
• Nova: Tsubasa Yonaga
• Pace: Tomokazu Sugita

La storia della Arcana Famiglia: Rinato will appear on the Switch on July 24, 2025, and a PC version of the otome game will be available as well. The title appeared on the PSP and Vita in Japan. The anime adaptation also appeared worldwide, but it doesn’t seem to be currently streaming anywhere.

The God Eater series holds a special place in my gaming memories. As one of the more established competitors to Monster Hunter, Bandai Namco gave a more extensive focus on the characters. It also let players bring NPCs as party even in single-player sessions, which did not appear as a feature in Capcom's games prior to the 2022 release of Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak. However, the God Eater games released on the PSP, PS Vita, and PS4 also had a trick that allowed players to characters from the same 's saved slots as avatar NPC companions.

To put the trick into perspective, we should first learn how the avatar NPC feature came to be in a genre that thrived with multiple competitor titles around the 2010s. The Monster Hunter games have a Guild Card that records each player's activities. Players can also customize the card before sharing it with others by writing their own messages while choosing a specific pose and title. However, the cards barely serve any gameplay purposes other than recording proof that you have encountered those players in a multiplayer session.

This was where Bandai Namco tried to amp up the competition by adding a meaningful gameplay feature to the cards. In the God Eater games, exchanging these cards would not only let players see each other's records; it also actually let them select the player's avatar as an NPC party member akin to the in-game story characters.

Some of the games' players have even discovered a trick where they can characters from other save slots in the same as avatar NPC companions, which also means they can technically add their own created characters as party . Such a trick has since been known in the community as the "Self Avatar Card."

The trick was made possible by utilizing loopholes in the wireless and online features of the now-legacy consoles, although one would be required to own two copies of the same game and/or console to pull it out. While methods to execute the trick had existed as early as the release of God Eater Burst—the enhanced edition of the first series entry released for PSP in 2010, I had the most profound experiences with God Eater Resurrection and God Eater 2: Rage Burst when Bandai Namco released them for the Vita and PS4.

There were two methods possible to execute the trick in both games. The first one utilized two Vita consoles—one of them could also be a PlayStation Vita TV. And if one had purchased the game digitally, they could and access the same game on both consoles and then connect with the local Ad-Hoc mode.

The second method—and the one I actually used—involved purchasing a copy of the game for each of the PS4 and Vita. I still how I could connect to a private online room with the same simultaneously on both platforms. After successfully performing the internal exchange, I could sync the saves with the updated Self Avatar Cards via the cross-save feature. In God Eater Resurrection, that also meant I could add the franchise's anime protagonist Lenka Utsugi besides my own characters to the list of callable allies.

God Eater was not the only series in the hunting action genre to feature the Self Avatar Card trick. When Koei Tecmo launched Toukiden Kiwami around 2014-2015 and Toukiden 2 in 2016, it released both games on the PS4 and Vita. I still fondly how I could pull out the same method and have my characters appear in each other's saves.

God Eater 3, unfortunately, does not the same trick due to the lack of cross-play and cross-save between its PS4, PC, and Switch releases. Technically speaking, players of the Switch and Steam versions could have a similar experience of exchanging avatars between two respective devices. However, both platforms have more stringent checks so it would necessitate a secondary . And while there is a way on the Switch to access a single digital copy on two consoles and s, both consoles can only connect via online multiplayer, which also requires a Nintendo Switch Online subscription for each of them.

The experience of having another self-made avatar as an NPC companion in these character-driven hunting games is different from the likes of Freedom Wars' Accessory androids or Dragon's Dogma's Pawns. In the latter games, you could create the secondary avatar right away, but they are more designed to be emotionless servants to your primary character.

The avatar NPCs can appear as callable characters with a more complete personality that can even become indistinguishable from the existing story characters if they are created elaborately enough. I actually felt more motivated to replay God Eater and Toukiden games with secondary and tertiary avatars when I had my previous character(s) appear to help me in the new playthrough.

However, looking at how stringent the check has become in more recent platforms, it becomes more crucial that generating self-made NPCs should not be the result of a cross-play trick, but rather should be implemented as an official gameplay feature. Having such a feature can help give more motivation to players who want to get immersed into the game's world but prefer playing in single-player modes, such as myself.

But I am personally hoping that the self-made avatar NPC feature can appear formally in not only a hypothetical God Eater 4 by Bandai Namco or Toukiden 3 by Koei Tecmo but also all other hunting action games, including Capcom's Monster Hunter Wilds which is starting to go all-in on NPC hunters. Imagine replaying the latter game with a newer character and you spot your first avatar coming to help after you launched the SOS Flare... How cool would that be?

Capcom revealed that it will sell a new book containing key art from games it released in the up to 40 years since its first release. The book will have the title "Capcom Key Art Catalog since 1984 to 2023," and it will be available on March 20, 2025, at 9,900 yen (~$65.20).

The A4-sized book will have a total of 376 pages. It will cover over 300 games Capcom has released on numerous platforms throughout 40 years since 1984, with explanations in Japanese and English.

The first-ever title Capcom released was the arcade shooting game Vulgus in May 1984. Since 2023 is the cutoff year, the latest games featured in this book should include the Resident Evil 4 remake, Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection, Street Fighter 6, Exoprimal, Mega Man X DiVE Offline, and Monster Hunter Now.

Here are the samples for some of the pages in the book:

The new catalog book will be available for purchase in Capcom's physical and online storefronts. The company will also sell the book at the Capcom Exhibition, which will take place at Osaka's Nakanoshima Museum of Art from March 20, 2025—the same day as the book's release date—until June 22, 2025.

The "Capcom Key Art Catalog since 1984 to 2023" book will be available for purchase in Japan on March 20, 2025.

Square Enix has announced that it will launch a live stream showcasing Xenogears music to mark the game's 27th anniversary. People from all around the world will be able to watch the nine-hour stream on YouTube on February 11, 2025, in American time zones, or February 12, 2025, for the rest of the world.

The company will play various music tracks from Xenogears soundtracks in this stream. It implies that it will play not only the original tracks used in the game but also the album-exclusive arrangements of the tracks.

Squaresoft originally released Xenogears for PlayStation in Japan on February 11, 1998. However, Square Enix will time the worldwide stream in American time zones, even though the game's English localization came out in North America in October 1998. The company's Japanese X acknowledged the discrepancy when it announced the stream, which will go live in Japan on February 12, 2025, from 12 PM until 9 PM JST.

Even though Xenogears has been widely regarded as one of Squaresoft's defining RPG titles, Square Enix has still yet to release the PS1 game on subsequent platforms outside of Game Archives for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable, and PlayStation Vita. The company has been instead focused on releasing action figures and model kits based on the title's Gears like Fei's Weltall and Rico's Stier.

The Xenogears Music Special Live Stream will be broadcast on YouTube on February 11, 2025, at 7 PM PST / 10 PM EST.

Spike Chunsoft and Youtooz announced the two companies teamed up for Danganronpa Junko Enoshima and Monokuma plush toys. Pre-orders are open for both until March 4, 2025 on the official Youtooz storefront. Each one costs $29.99. Both are expected to ship sometime in August 2025.

Both the Junko and Monokuma Danganronpa plush toys will be nine inches tall. Both feature embroidery and stitching around their faces for their expressions. Junko also wears a school uniform and has bear hairclips at the tops of her pigtails that look like Monokuma. 

While both are still in development and not available yet, there are preliminary photos of both stuffed animals to give us an idea of how they’ll look when they’re released. Here's how those look:

Youtooz is well known for pop culture merchandise like figures and plush toys, so it isn’t unexpected for it to also make and sell Danganronpa products. One of the most recent announcements in 2025 was an Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Hero collection. There were also Persona 5 Tactica figures and a Dokibird figure released in 2024. 

As for other Danganronpa merchandise, Good Smile Company is continuing to release figures. Its latest is a bunny girl version of Celestia.

The Danganronpa Celestia Ludenberg bunny girl figure will launch in September 2025. Pre-orders are open until March 26, 2025. Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc is available on the PS4, PSP, Vita, Switch, Xbox One, PC, and mobile devices.

The God Eater series of hunting action games has reached its 15th anniversary on February 4, 2025. The games' publisher Bandai Namco celebrated the occasion by tweeting a new illustration on the series' official Japanese X .

The illustration features two key characters from each of the three mainline God Eater entries released as of 2025. They are Soma Schicksal and Alisa Illinichna Amiella from the first God Eater, Julius Visconti and Ciel Alencon from God Eater 2, and Hugo Pennywort and Claire Victorious from God Eater 3. In an addendum to the tweet, Bandai Namco announced that it will produce and sell new merchandise based on the new illustrations.

Key staff of the God Eater series, such as Yusuke Tomizawa and Hiroshi Yoshimura, have also tweeted celebrations for the 15th anniversary milestone on their respective X s. Bandai Namco has since appointed Tomizawa to take charge of the Tales Of series, while Yoshimura is still primarily credited as the general director of God Eater.

Bandai Namco originally planned to hold multiple major events in 2020 when the God Eater series reached its 10th anniversary. However, it canceled all of them due to the global lockdowns caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Since then, the company celebrated subsequent anniversaries in a more subtle way by opening temporary merchandise stores. In addition, the company has not released a new game for the series since God Eater 3 came out in Japan in December 2018 and worldwide in February 2019.

The first God Eater title appeared on the PlayStation Portable in Japan on February 4, 2010. All three enhanced mainline entries—God Eater Resurrection, God Eater 2 Rage Burst, and God Eater 3—are playable on PlayStation 4 and PC. The first two entries also came out on the PlayStation Vita, while God Eater 3 is additionally available on Nintendo Switch.

The next Danganronpa bunny girl figure arrives in 2025, and it will be a new take on Celestia Ludenberg. Good Smile Company announced it will debut in Japan in September 2025, and it will cost ￥39,600 when it does. It’ll be $310.99 in the US, and it is expected to appear everywhere by Q1 2026. 

The reason for the high cost is that this is a 1/4 scale figure, compared to the 1/7 and 1/8 ones we typically see. This means she’ll be over 10 inches tall. (That’s about 260mm.) It is a static figure with no additional face plates or accessories for posing purposes. Her bunny girl outfit does look slightly different than others in the line, to accentuate the fact that she always tended to wear Gothic Lolita clothing in the game. She also holds a Joker playing card, as a nod to her role as the Ultimate Gambler. The fishnet stockings she wears are made of real fabric as well.

Here’s a closer look at how this version of Celestia should look when the figure launches.

There are already multiple Danganronpa figures in this bunny girl line. In 2023, Chiaki Nanami, Junko Enoshima, Kaede Akamatsu, and Kyoko Kirigiri came up. The Chiako one appeared in both black and white outfits. The latest promotional image from Good Smile Company on the product page alongside the Celestia reveal showed there will be a Mikan Tsumiki figure in the collection too. 

The Danganronpa Celestia Ludenberg bunny girl figure will launch in September 2025. Pre-orders are open until March 26, 2025. Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc is available on the PS4, PSP, Vita, Switch, Xbox One, PC, and mobile devices.

Good Smile Company shared an update on the Kyoko Kirigiri Nendoroid, and the Danganronpa figure is now in the painted prototype phase. There’s no expected release date for her yet, but the progress update does mean we could see pre-orders appear in the near future.

Kyoko first appeared at Smile Fest 2024 in June 2024. At that phase of development, only concept art of the character was available. It featured her in her suit, tie, and skirt, with her gloves on and her hand on her hip. The photo of the painted prototype shows the character in the exact same pose.

Here’s how the Danganronpa Kyoko figure looks so far:

Back when the this Nendoroid was first announced, she was accompanied by a reveal of one of Nagito Komaeda from Danganronpa 2. Pre-orders for that one actually already showed up in stores, and he costs $55.99. He’s expected to ship out in May 2025.

There’s no release window for the Kyoko Kirigiri Danganronpa Nendoroid yet. However, since she is in the painted prototype phase, we could see pre-orders open in the next few weeks. Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc is available on the PS4, PSP, Vita, Switch, Xbox One, PC, and mobile devices.

Konami offered a closer look at its Suikoden 1 and 2 HD Remaster booth at Tokyo Game Show 2024, showing the art and special features people who attend can see. Some of the displays include official art from the game, as well as gameplay footage from the rereleases. 

The English social media featured three photos of the Suikoden 1 and 2 HD TGS 2024 booth. Two of them offered peeks at the installation from the outside. There’s a screen on the front constantly showing footage from the game. Below it are two images. We can also see some of the displays instead. The third photo showed off a photo spot with the two heroes from the games, Tir McDohl and Riou. 

The Japanese for the game showed photos that are a bit more detailed. For example, it noted the standees of Tir and Riou are designed to be life-size. So both of them are over five feet tall, with Tir being slightly taller. He’s 5 ft, 4in, while Riou is a centimeter shorter. 

It also offered a closer look at the art display inside the booth. That featured closer looks at the individual character portraits hung on the wall, the general art, and the merchandise shown in the display cases.

Suikoden 1 and 2 HD Remaster: Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars will come to the PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch on March 6, 2025. The original games appeared on the PlayStation worldwide. They also appeared together in a collection on the PSP in Japan.
