Overview
- On Wednesday, September 9, 2026 Marvelous formally unveiled Eternal Anima, ending its years-long development under the codename 'Project Life is RPG'.
- Eternal Anima will launch on March 4, 2027 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch 2 and PC via Steam with North American and European pricing and limited-edition bundles announced.
- The game centers on protagonist Wade and two core systems: Psychometry, which lets him read objects’ past memories to inherit abilities and classes, and Future Sight, which shows enemy actions in combat so players can delay or cancel them.
- The development team includes JRPG veterans Katsuhisa Higuchi, Keisuke Makino and Kazushige Nojima, and early coverage praises its retro-inspired, HD-2D-esque visuals that nod to late-1990s and early-2000s RPGs.
- Publishers confirmed that PS5 and Switch 2 versions will be sold physically and digitally in North America, with limited editions including a two-disc soundtrack, art book and display art cards, and analysts note the March window is crowded which may affect the game's visibility and marketing plans.
