New DLC adds four new characters, new modes, special outfits and more content!

Hertfordshire, 4^th July 2025 – The 1 vs. 1,000 action of WARRIORS: Abyss is about to get more intense than ever as KOEI TECMO Europe and developer Omega Force announced that characters from Team NINJA’s popular franchise are now playable in the roguelite hack’n’slash action game. As well as introducing four new characters, including the ever-popular Ryu Hayabusa, the new update adds new features, special costumes and more. WARRIORS: Abyss is now available as a digital-only title on PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Nintendo Switch™, Xbox Series X|S, and Windows PC via Steam®.

This free update adds master ninja Ryu Hayabusa and other popular characters from the same universe, Ayane, Rachel and Momiji, as playable and summonable heroes. Each ninja possesses their own unique abilities, such as Ryu Hayabusa’s “Solitary Master Ninja” or Ayane’s “Mugen Tenshin Style”, allowing players to increase the speed or attack of the heroes depending on the emblems they are equipped with. By combining the skills of the characters together, players can develop new strategies and create new formations, as fast and deadly as ninjas.

In addition, for greater replayability, players wishing to defeat Gouma again without going through Hell can select the new “Training Hall” mode. They will be able to challenge Gouma under various conditions, and up to the highest traversal level achieved in normal mode, to receive valuable rewards such as Karma Embers and Records of Sin, while increasing their cumulative level cap.

For players looking for a more intense challenge on their journey through Hell, the new “Void of Empathy” mode will put their skills to the test. In this race against the clock, players must get as far as they can before time runs out. By defeating formidable enemies on the way, they will earn time to continue their journey and receive rewards based on their performance.

Furthermore, a new “Transcendence” feature has been implemented. Although this new feature requires a lot of Karma Embers, it allows players to significantly enhance their heroes by adding new emblems and alters the effects of their unique strategies.

Lastly, two DLC costume packs are also available for purchase, including the “MASTER NINJA Formal Costume Set” and the “MASTER NINJA Legacy Costume Set”. These new additional costumes can be selected after completing the tutorial.

WARRIORS: Abyss is now available on PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Nintendo Switch™, Xbox Series X|S and Windows PC via Steam® in standard, Deluxe and Hack’n’Dash editions. The game features Japanese voices and texts in English, French, Spanish, German and Italian.

About WARRIORS: ABYSS

Set in the floors of a randomly generated hell, players battle through waves of enemies from all directions as they delve into the abyss where the arch-villain, Gouma, awaits. Along the way, players meet new characters and find items to select from to strengthen their team. These selections can be combined to unleash powerful effects, allowing for a variety of strategic approaches. Since the characters and items will change with each playthrough, players will need to craft new strategies in order to find success. WARRIORS: Abyss introduces a new way to play a WARRIORS title by combining the exhilarating feeling of 1 vs. 1,000 action with roguelite elements – such as randomly generated stages and items, and enhancing player strength through choices – allowing for a different experience with each playthrough while also encouraging countless hours of replayability.

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!

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.
