Studio Atma Announces Gravastar for PS5, Xbox Series, Switch 2 and PC

The long-in-development JRPG pairs nostalgic 16/32-bit-inspired visuals with a fast, combo-driven conditional turn-based combat system and does not yet have a release date.

Overview

Studio Atma publicly revealed Gravastar, a Japanese-style sci-fi fantasy JRPG that the studio says has been in development for more than ten years and will ship on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Switch 2, and PC.
The game uses a fast-paced conditional turn-based battle system inspired by 2D arcade fighting games where attack-combo inputs can alter turn order and create long chains.
Gravastar centers on Baird, an orphan who discovers he is a Spectre, and promises a story-driven campaign of over 15 hours with five playable companions and exploration across five continents.
The art direction mixes stylistic 3D animation and hand-painted textures to evoke 16- and 32-bit JRPG aesthetics while presenting in modern high definition.
Studio Atma released an announcement trailer and screenshots and describes the project as built by industry veterans and optimized programmers, with platform performance targets and a launch date to be announced in future updates.
