VIVA NOBOTS

Shueisha Games has announced VIVA NOBOTS, a new “casual non-verbal social deduction action game” launching in spring 2026 for PC via Steam. VIVA NOBOTS will launch with English and Japanese language support, and an open beta is being held from December 12 to 18 in Japan.

A new gameplay trailer and the game’s opening movie were also released:

Here’s an overview of the game, via Steam:

About VIVA NOBOTS

VIVA NOBOTS is a treasure-hunting stealth action game where humans (players) disguise themselves as excavation robots (NPCs) to sneak into ancient ruins. As a NOBOT — a treasure hunter in disguise — your goal is to get rich and rise to the top of the wanted rankings!

The key to being a successful NOBOT is “Can you steal the treasure without blowing your cover?”

You can enter and leave the ruins at any time—but beware: you never know how many rival players might be lurking inside! Dig for treasure while blending in with the bots, and if you spot another player, expose them and steal their loot!

Blend in with excavation robots and snatch treasures from ancient ruins! When three symbols align, treasure appears — time your dig carefully while keeping an eye on rivals! The rarer the treasure, the stronger the buffs—and the higher the points!

Spot a suspicious player? Use the Doubt Gun to reveal their true identity! Expose rivals to steal their treasure and earn bonus bounty rewards! But be careful — if you shoot a real NPC, you’ll pay the price!

Even if you grab the treasure, you’re not safe until you escape! If your identity is revealed by rivals or security bots, they’ll snatch your loot! However, if you successfully identify all three rivals, you can make a daring escape via the “Victory Lap” — no exit required!

    • Open Beta Update
      • New humanoid security bot: the “Android” is here!
      • Hit the mega-jackpot with the “GODPOT” and strike it rich!
      • Collect map pieces and head for the golden ruins, “Gol Dorado”!
    • Future Update Plans
      • Co-op / VS Mode
      • Change avatar type
