Com2uS has announced that the previously announced video game adaptations of Gachiakuta and Omniscient Reader will release in 2027. The former is currently set to release under the working title GACHIAKUTA: The Game.
Currently, little details about the latter’s gameplay and platforms are known. However, the former will release for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. It’s likely that the Omniscient Reader game will release on the same platforms. Omniscient Reader is a WEBTOON that is available to read now on the website. New chapters release every Tuesday.
Kodansha’s Weekly Shōnen Magazine has serialized Gachiakuta as an ongoing series since February 2022. 18 volumes have been released for Gachiakuta so far. The manga recently returned from hiatus. Fans can catch up with the series in English on Kodansha’s K MANGA service. The first season of the Gachiakuta anime is streaming on Crunchyroll, and season 2 will premiere at a later date.
Lastly, the Steam page describes GACHIAKUTA: The Game as follows:
GACHIAKUTA: The Game is a real-time action RPG that fully recreates the world of the hit Japanese anime IP Gachiakuta in full 3D. Originally serialized in Weekly Shonen Magazine and later adapted into an anime, the anime’s unique atmosphere and worldview have been reinterpreted through the game’s own stylish action.
Rudo, a boy surviving in the slums by scavenging through the trash, faces constant discrimination. One day, he is falsely accused of a crime he did not commit and cast down into the Pit, a place feared by all.
There, he encounters the cleaner Enjin and uncovers the truth behind the world. Rudo awakens his power—the ability to draw out the soul of discarded objects and manifest their value as a weapon. Rudo’s journey to change the world begins now.
