Los Angeles — July 3, 2025 — Aksys Games today revealed details about their upcoming lineup of games during their panel at this year’s Anime Expo event in Los Angeles. Titles were announced for Nintendo Switch™, PS5™ and PC.

The new titles announced include:

Path of Mystery: A Brush with Death (NSW/Spring 2026) – Decades ago, a famous landscape artist was brutally murdered while painting late at night. At that time irregularities were found in the case and the primary suspect died in an apparent suicide. The case was closed and, over time, nearly forgotten. Thirty years later your university club, the Mystery Research Club, pries open old wounds, revisiting this unsolved case as a research assignment. Unexpected new clues are revealed as you use your secret ability to peer into the past, viewing key items and events in a new light. Use your uniquely gained knowledge to steer conversations and interviews with witnesses and potential suspects. Maintain your own secrets while uncovering a series of long-buried mysteries leading to the true killer. 

Q Collection (NSW/2026) – The Q puzzle series now makes its way to the Nintendo Switch as a collection of three games! With over 1,800 problems to solve, you’re bound to be entertained, whether you’d like to take on the challenges yourself or as a group. Q REMASTERED is a simple puzzle game in which players can freely draw lines and shapes on the screen. The drawn object will drop due to gravity. Q with VTUBERS features challenging and quirky puzzles designed by over 20 VTubers. The sequel Q2 HUMANITY introduces characters or ‘humans’ that can jump, bounce, throw things, and sometimes even exhibit special abilities. Q2 can be played solo or with up to 4 players.

Tristia: Chronicles (NSW/Spring 2026) – Tristia: Legacy and Tristia: Restore are together in one updated collection! The beautiful city of Tristia, nicknamed the “Jewel of the Sea,” has bustled with maritime trade until recent dragon attacks stripped the city of its charm, and the people are resigned to its state of decay. In this town building simulation game, you play as crafter-inventor Nanoca who has been challenged to restore the city within a year. Will Tristia regain its former vibrancy or will it remain in disrepair? Everything depends on your hard work.

Tristia: Restore takes place alongside Tristia: Legacy, but focuses on the day-to-day running of Nanoca’s shop. She has some major crafting projects to complete, but while she works to finish them, a constant barrage of requests pour in. In this action game, quickness counts as you gather your materials, choose the right equipment, and deliver completed items to the townsfolk. Can you accomplish everything before time runs out?

C.A.R.D.S. RPG: The Misty Battlefield (PS5 & NSW physical only/Fall 2025) – An expanded version of the game that combines roguelike-style deckbuilding with SRPGs. Enjoy unique tactical gameplay that features over 100 varieties of cards with unique designs allowing players to build powerful decks and strategically confront enemies on an SRPG field. Every encounter requires a different strategy! Adapt to new battlegrounds and plan accordingly. Build the strongest deck and put a stop to the Hellmuth Brigade’s actions. The new “Mini-Game” mode lets players select a single unit and navigate a grid-based map, engaging in battles, upgrading, and making critical decisions. Your route and deck-building choices within limited turns will determine your success against the boss!

The Good Old Days (NSW/Fall 2025) – A nostalgic metroidvania-style game from the good old days back in 19XX. Take on the role of Sean, a young boy who ventures into the fictional city of Arostia to repay his father’s debt. Explore the underground of Arostia, rescue your friends from imprisonment, and figure out how to pay your debt on time! The Good Old Days pays homage to the general nostalgia of teenage youth, the times that were, and what could have been. Throughout your adventure across the play space, you may encounter easter eggs and retro pop culture references scattered throughout the game world. Reminisce about the dreams of adventure from those days gone by throughout your playthrough with this gripping, multi-faceted story!

Otome Daoshi -Fighting for Love- (NSW/Spring 2026) – Shunlin lives in the thriving martial arts kingdom of Kayu where she’s a Daoist priestess in training. This year the Tournament of Valor will decide the strongest fighter in the country. However, on the day of the tournament, an assailant appears at the arena and attacks the spectators. Experience the conflict and betrayal amongst allies and confront the challenges ahead. As they protect those important to them and their pride, our protagonist fights for her beloved country and for the warrior that she loves! In the end, what will be their fate, and what will the future hold?

Project Code M (Platforms TBA) – We are excited to announce Project Code M, a mystery game currently in development where you seek the truth behind a series of murders from the perspectives of both the killer and the investigator. The story takes place in present day Tokyo, focusing on the Shitamachi area such as Asakusa and Yoshiwara, and involves Japan’s criminal underworld. As the murderer, set your trap, corner the target and commit your crime. The style of murder will unfold differently depending on the situation. As the investigator, uncover the truth by searching for clues and questioning witnesses. More details coming soon!

Aksys also announced that three new DLC packs are dropping next week for the popular Fitness Boxing feat. HATSUNE MIKU (NSW/July 10). Duck, jab, and punch your way to fitness with Hatsune Miku in the classic Fitness Boxing Mode, or in the brand new “Miku Exercise” mode featuring original songs from your favorite Piapro Characters!

BGM Vol.3 features re-arranged instrumental versions of widely known classical and folk songs for you to train to! BGM Vol.4 will up your Exercise mode BGM playlist with instrumental arrangements of fan favorite Piapro Characters’ songs. And a brand-new costume for Hatsune Miku is here – the classic tracksuit! This retro athletic outfit brings a touch of nostalgia to your fitness routine while keeping things fun and energetic.

New details were revealed for the two eagerly anticipated otome titles coming later this year:

Mistonia’s Hope -The Lost Delight- (NSW/November 13, 2025) – In an era where light and shadow coexist, a kingdom thrives under the rule of the fairy queen. On the outskirts of the capital city, Rowan, stands a noble residence where a new maid is about to arrive. Our heroine Aprose, having lost everything eight years ago, swore to take revenge on those responsible. Using a false identity, she searches for answers while working in the mansion belonging to a prestigious family. What secrets will she unearth upon her chance encounters with the distinguished noblemen who protect the kingdom? What path will she choose? And so begins the revenge tragedy of a girl bound by a hapless fate. An edition featuring the OST for the game is available exclusively through the Aksys Online Store.Illusion of Itehari (NSW/September 18, 2025) – In Itehari, the renowned and prosperous floating utopia, Hinagiku longs for the world beyond. One day, Hinagiku, having just turned 18 years old, encounters an amnesiac man. Their chance meeting drags her into a series of events involving the secrets and various truths hidden beneath the surface of Itehari… for this garden in the sky is a false utopia. Illusion of Itehari is a completely new otome game project created by a renowned group of artists and staff, and the first project from “LicoBiTs”, a joint venture by Broccoli and TIS Creation aimed at making games for the female audience.

The Next Evolution of Digital Warfare Has Arrived

SAN DIEGO – JULY 3, 2025 | Distinct Possibility Studios is thrilled to announce REAPER ACTUAL. This fast-paced FPS throws players into a relentless, ever-evolving battlefield fueled by dynamic faction warfare. As an elite Reaper on the war-torn island of Marova, survival demands more than just firepower. It is a brutal test of strategy and skill. Build your base, forge alliances, and lead high-risk raids against rival factions in a world where every bullet fired is a tactical gamble. REAPER ACTUAL delivers a shifting battle where players fight each other as well as embedded factions who are constantly at odds. Keep an eye over your shoulder as the next firefight could come from anywhere. Built with the open world persistence and the progression of an online game, REAPER ACTUAL hosts an ever-evolving battlefield where Reapers grow, trade, and form last bonds in warfare.

What Sets REAPER ACTUAL Apart

• Persistent World – Victories and defeats reshape the island’s control between PvP fights and NPC factions in real-time. Players will have a progression and crafting system to build the best gear, all of which stays in the world.
• Player Bases – These strongholds host crafting, weapon production, and the ability to defend your home turf. Fortify your position, because both NPC factions and other players can raid your base. If it goes bad, do not worry, gather your allies and seek revenge with your own raid.
• Dynamic Narrative Progression – Hand crafted story arcs seamlessly merge with an in-game mission system. Players are constantly drawn into conflict, not just against each other, but against the island’s relentless native factions. You may get a mission to capture an enemy leader, while others will get a mission to defend them. This interwoven story network gives Reapers their own personal story.
• Combat and Skills – Precision gunplay, cover systems, and squad coordination are critical for battles. Reapers can also unlock and craft land, sea and air vehicles to make the world of REAPER ACTUAL fully traversable.
• Player-Driven Economy – Craft, trade, and influence a dynamic in-game economy which puts creativity into the Reapers hands. Reapers do not just build guns, but gear as well. Night vision goggles, comms devices, and vehicles may hold the key to victory.

Quote from Matt Higby, Chief Creative Officer:
“We are moving toward the next level of persistent FPS combat. Players want a world they can live in and build upon. Having a solid base is only the start in REAPER ACTUAL. Once faction missions interweave with PvP combat, the world becomes a swirling battleground of options for players. Mix that with a full crafting system and Reapers will grow every time you log in to play.” 
 
The team at Distinct Possibility Studios are seasoned veterans, with deep roots in MMORPGs and other top-tier shooters. Game veterans John Smedley, Matt Higby, and Trammel Isaac have worked on some of the biggest titles over several decades. They are channeling that experience into the future of top tier shooters. REAPER ACTUAL fuses the scale and persistence of an MMO with the intensity of tactical FPS combat. Layered with meaningful character progression and a living battlefield, REAPER ACTUAL delivers an experience built for players who demand depth, strategy, and the thrill of nightly war. REAPER ACTUAL will be a full game experience on Steam and the EPIC Game store. A separate version of the game will leverage the Etherlink blockchain to facilitate ownership and trading of in-game assets for players that want to engage with Web3 functionality.
