Compile Heart Announces Villion: Code Developer Compile Heart announced "school life" RPG Villion: Code . The game's staff includes project producer Kouji Okada (co-founder of Atlus, co-creator of Megami Tensei and Persona ), scenario writer Tadashi Satomi ( Persona: Revelations and Persona 2: Innocent Sin / Eternal Punishment ), composer Tsukasa Masuko ( Megami Tensei , Megami Tensei II , Shin Megami Tensei , Shin Megami Tensei II , etc.), and character designer Ilya Kuvshinov ( Ghost in the Shell: SAC 2045 and The Wonderland / Birthday Wonderland ). It is set to release for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2 in Japan on June 25, 2026. Villion: Code takes place in the near future where humanity is on the verge of extinction. The game takes place in the Adhvan Resilience Research Academy City, established to help humanity survive, where an incident sees monsters called GEMs attacking people and the city sealed within a bubble. The player controlled protagonist is a 6th year student in the academy's Life Sciences Department and forms a group called the ADHVAN REBS with his friends in order to find the culprit behind an incident. The protagonist is joined by various characters. Sushiro is the protagonist's best friend and a fellow member of the basketball team. Also a member of the Life Sciences Department, he is a year behind the protagonist after enrolling late and repeating a year. Anastasia is a fellow 6th-year Life Sciences Department student, who is a popular cosplayer. She is initially guarded towards those he is unfamiliar with, and also stubborn and superstitious. Oliver is a 4th-year member of the Life Sciences Department and a member of the debate team. He is often sarcastic and somewhat unpopular as a result. Chloe is a 3rd-year student who loves nature and was suspended for refusing to take part in experiments involving animals. She has a photographic memory, but is not good at socialising. Finally, Marika is a 1st-year student and the protagonist's cousin. She is a member of the occult research group and is often energetic but suffers from asthma. Villion: Code sees players enter a dungeon-esque alternate dimension called the Sankhara Spacetime that is said to embody the “ten evil deeds” of humanity. The game's combat mixes real-time action and tactical elements, with party members using Genome Arms, arms mutated into weapons. By equipping different skills, players can alter their combat style, with the protagonist able to swap Genome Arms during battle. Other elements include the ability to use walls to move to the other side of the field and unleash surprise attacks, as well as to parry and counter enemy attacks.

Sword Hero Undergoing Kickstarter Campaign Solo developer ForestWare, supported by publisher Crytivo, has begun a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign for open-world RPG Sword Hero . The game takes place on the quarantined island of Wes, which is part of a long-abandoned Ringworld. Players control the Delver, a character without any status in the world. Sword Hero is built around simulation systems, with directional combat that tracks armor, damage, and debuffs for individual body parts. Environmental hazards, positioning, and verticality play important roles, with disabling enemies often being more effective than outright defeating them. The game world is said to be seamless, with NPCs following persistent daily routines and events continuing whether the player is present or not. There are weather, fire propagation, and crime systems, with players also able to own houses and businesses. A combat demo is available on Steam . The campaign is set to run until February 26, 2026, and has already surpassed its $35,000 funding goal. Those who pledge at least $25 will receive a digital copy of the game as part of their backer rewards. Sword Hero is in development for PC and is currently expected to release in 2027, with console versions part the campaign's stretch goals.
