Toei’s Trio of First Games Hold Little Interest for PS5 Players
Toei Games, a newly established game publisher under anime powerhouse Toei Animation, has announced its first trio of games. Rather than leveraging Toei’s massive IP portfolio like One Piece or Dragon Ball, the company is positioning itself as a boutique indie game publisher.
All three announced titles are initially launching on PC only, though Toei Games has indicated plans to expand to console platforms in the future. This means PS5 players won’t have access to these titles at launch.
Among the announced games is KILLA, a 3D adventure mystery title featuring multiple possible endings. The game follows Valhalla, the protagonist, as she investigates the death of her mentor—someone she cherished like family—by traveling to an unexplored island to uncover the killer’s identity.
While specific details about the other two games in the trio weren’t fully detailed in the excerpt, the announcement represents Toei’s strategic expansion into interactive entertainment beyond its core animation business. The focus on indie titles suggests the publisher aims to take a curated approach to game development rather than immediately investing in major AAA productions. The eventual console expansion plans indicate confidence in the market reception of these initial PC releases, though the timing and specific platforms for that expansion remain unclear.
