When the Crunchyroll brand focuses on something other than its streaming service, the mobile gaming division may remain relatively unknown. Only those who have joined at the highest service level (Mega or Ultimate Fan) will know the Crunchyroll Game Vault. And for those folks not up to date, this company will launch a digital manga service later this year!
And with 50 games to try out, it may be time to check out what they got. While I’m not expecting to find the elusive Wild Arms: Million Memories, hopefully some distributor will consider it!
From the Press Release:
“Since launching Crunchyroll Game Vault in November 2023, we worked diligently to build a library that is quickly reaching an estimated 500 hours of immersive gameplay hours. This, paired with more than 25,000 of anime available to stream now on Crunchyroll, allows for endless adventuring,” said Terry Li, Executive Vice President of Emerging Business, Crunchyroll & General Manager of Crunchyroll Games.
Critically acclaimed, visual novel The House in Fata Morgana brings its signature gothic horror and mystery to mobile. Currently boasting a 96 on Metacritic, the title further bolsters Game Vault’s selection of genre-defining visual novels that already includes likes of STEINS;GATE, Psycho-Pass: MANDATORY HAPPINESS and more.
Also launching are mobile ports of action RPG Kitaria Fables and the most pocketable version of the hit puzzle adventure Magical Drop VI—complete with online multiplayer and leaderboards.
“Crunchyroll Game Vault’s future is defined by our commitment to quality titles. To date, we have worked with over 40 different publishers and studios to build an incredible library celebrated by gamers and anime fans—the average is about 76 on Metacritic,” said Terry Li, Executive Vice President of Emerging Business, Crunchyroll & General Manager of Crunchyroll Games. “We will continue to bring new experiences to mobile, update existing titles in terms of compatibility or features, as well as explore original titles.”
Crunchyroll Game Vault launched in November 2023 and now has a library of 50 titles, including River City Girls, Moonstone Island, Crypt of the Necrodancer and more, exclusively for Crunchyroll members at the Mega and Ultimate Fan tiers in more than 200 countries and territories. New and existing fans can sign up or upgrade to a Crunchyroll Mega or Ultimate Fan membership to nab their key to the vault to enjoy games alongside over 25,000 hours of anime.
