5minlab Announces Anomaly Isolation Action Game WPCA for PS5 and PC
The announcement marks 5minlab's first major console push through a State of Play Japan reveal, bringing its boss-rush co-op formula to PS5 after a Steam page opened months earlier.
Reporting from 1 source: Automaton.
Developer 5minlab announced World Fiction Management Alliance: WPCA on September 3. The action game supports solo play and online co-op for up to 3 players. Players become agents who isolate supernatural beings invading the real world. The game appeared at Sony's State of Play Japan event. It is scheduled for release in 2028 on PS5 and PC via Steam.
World Fiction Management Alliance: WPCA is a boss rush game. Players join the Soul Branch of the World Fiction Management Alliance and fight giant monsters in isolation zones. The trailer shows agents using flashy sword techniques against enemies, and combat requires stepping into weak points to neutralize threats.
Builds come from combining weapon mechanics, skills, passives, equipment, and random options. Defeating monsters yields remnants used to craft stronger weapons and Core Interference Devices. Co-op for up to 3 players does not assign fixed roles; the design lets each player act freely without overthinking.
5minlab operates under KRAFTON. The Steam store page opened in March, and the PS5 version was revealed at State of Play Japan. Release is set for 2028.
