The Caligula Effect Celebrates 10th Anniversary with New Illustration and Special Broadcast

FuRyu is celebrating the 10th anniversary of The Caligula Effect with a new illustration that depicts “where it all began” (shown above). A 10th anniversary “special broadcast” for The Caligula Effect will be held on June 23 at 19:00 JST / 6:00 a.m. EDT with producer Takuya Yamanaka, FuRyu’s Hiromichi Watanabe, and historia’s Shun Sasaki taking a look back at the series. 

According to translations provided by Final Weapon staff writer Ryuji, there will also be several other projects to celebrate the 10th anniversary of The Caligula Effect. More details will be given at a later date, but for now, it’s worth noting that there was no confirmation of a new game in the series.

The Caligula Effect 2 is available now for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store. The PC version of The Caligula Effect 2 will be 70% off from June 23 to July 10.
