Following a highly anticipated 8-minute release date trailer, Wright Flyer Studios has officially confirmed that their upcoming time-traveling JRPG, Another Eden Begins, will launch on September 17, 2026. Developed under the company’s newly formed Studio Prisma banner, the game is moving away from its free-to-play mobile roots to deliver a premium, standalone experience on the Nintendo Switch, the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam.
Here is a breakdown of all the latest information regarding the story, gameplay mechanics, and creative minds behind this ambitious new title.
The Creative Masterminds Behind the Magic
Fans of classic JRPGs have plenty of reasons to be excited about Another Eden Begins. The project is being spearheaded by some of the most legendary figures in the role-playing genre:
-
Masato Kato: The veteran writer renowned for his foundational work on legendary titles like Chrono Trigger and Xenogears is penning the game’s branching narrative.
-
Yasunori Mitsuda & Procyon Studios: The iconic composer, who also collaborated with Kato on Chrono Trigger, has created the main theme song. The game’s broader soundtrack features a mix of traditional folk instruments and full orchestral arrangements produced by Procyon Studios.
-
Studio Prisma: According to Shinnosuke Hirasawa, Head of Studio Prisma, the team built Another Eden Begins as a “brand-new RPG” from the ground up, ensuring it is a massive standalone experience rather than a simple console port of the original mobile game (Another Eden: The Cat Beyond Time and Space).
Storyline: A Tear in Spacetime
The game features a completely fresh, richly woven narrative complete with full English voice acting for the main storyline.
The plot follows a young man named Aldo and his younger sister, Feinne. The two siblings live a peaceful, idyllic life in the village of Baruoki—until tragedy strikes and Feinne is kidnapped by the menacing Beast King. In his desperate pursuit to save his sister, Aldo tracks the Beast King into the Moonlight Forest. Following a fierce battle, a tear in spacetime rips open, throwing Aldo 800 years into the future. Stranded in an unfamiliar era, Aldo must navigate different time periods, meeting a roster of 18 unique characters whom players will get to know deeply through branching side quests.
Strategic Turn-Based Combat and Multiple Endings
While the original Another Eden utilized a side-scrolling format, Another Eden Begins takes its combat and exploration to new heights.
-
Command Battles: Combat relies on a highly strategic turn-based system. Players must build their parties carefully, focusing on character roles and synergies to unleash devastating “Chain Skills.”
-
Another Force: A returning fan-favorite mechanic, players can utilize the “Another Force” gauge to freeze time and unleash a barrage of attacks on enemies to turn the tide of a difficult battle.
-
New Game+ and Branching Endings: Masato Kato’s signature narrative depth shines here. After rolling the credits, players are encouraged to tackle a robust New Game+ mode. You will retain your characters’ strength and upgrades, but your actions and choices in the subsequent playthroughs will branch the narrative, leading to over 10 different endings.
Early Bird Bonuses and Launch Details
For fans looking to jump into the action on day one, Wright Flyer Studios has detailed a few early-adopter perks. Players who purchase the game before September 2027 will receive digital serial codes that unlock:
-
An “Encounter Ramiu” ticket, guaranteeing a specific character pull to bolster your early-game roster.
-
Exclusive alternative outfits for the protagonists, Aldo and Feinne.
-
A “5-Star Guaranteed 10 Allies Bundle” ticket for extra party members.
Furthermore, Nintendo Switch players who eventually plan to upgrade their console will be happy to know that WFS has confirmed an “Upgrade Pass” will be available, allowing standard Nintendo Switch owners to transition their game seamlessly to the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition.
Another Eden Begins releases globally on September 17, 2026, for Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and Steam.
