BUZZ BEAT MEDIA

Crunchyroll doubles down on games, bringing 15 exclusive titles to Crunchyroll Game Vault—unlimited access to a growing library of premium mobile games for Mega and Ultimate Fan members worldwide. Three hit titles join Game Vault today with twelve more launching throughout the summer and early fall. This line up expands Crunchyroll from the ultimate destination for anime fans into a premiere hub for anime-games with visual novels! 

Today, Crunchyroll Mega and Ultimate Fan members can play the turn-based role-playing game Battle Chasers: Nightwar; the kaiju-inspired beat em’ up Dawn of the Monsters; and the thrilling puzzle-platformer Evan’s Remains. These titles  are now available on mobile devices through the App Store, Google Play, and Crunchyroll.  

Crunchyroll has partnered with visual novel pioneer Mages to bring beloved anime franchises to Game Vault, including STEINS;GATE—the award-winning time travel science-fiction visual novel that inspired the hit series. Fans can also deepen their anime-fandom with the cult horror adventure game turned hit anime Corpse Party as well as two visual novels that expand on beloved series—cyberpunk thriller PSYCHO-PASS: MANDATORY HAPPINESS and romantic comedy The Quintessential Quintuplets: Memories of a Quintessential Summer.

“Bringing visual novels to Crunchyroll’s game lineup is another example of how we super-serve our fans with entertainment that deepens their love of anime,” said Terry Li, EVP of Emerging Business, Crunchyroll. “Like manga, visual novels are a source material for hit anime and often expand on beloved series. It is important to offer that content to our audience as part of their membership”   

Game Vault’s diverse library grows as Crunchyroll collaborates with acclaimed partners to bring updated and new titles to mobile. The award-winning rhythm roguelike Crypt of the NecroDancer will boogie back on to mobile, fully updated to support more devices. Additionally, downloadable content previously unavailable on mobile —SYNCHRONICITY and Hatsune Miku—will come to the platform for the first time! Titles making their mobile debut include METROIDvania-adventure 9 Years of Shadow, action adventure title based on the hit anime RWBY: Arrowfell and more.
