Happinet's turn-based strategy series returns with Brigandine Abyss, launching August 27, 2026 on Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. Producer Masaru Saito, who served as assistant producer on Brigandine: The Legend of Runersia, volunteered to lead the project. Players lead one of six factions on a continent split among 25 factions, fielding over 100 knight and monster units on hex-based battlefields.
The battlefield runs on hexagonal HEX tiles, giving each unit six adjacent sides to attack or defend against, a series trait that pairs with the large number of monster units led by human knights. Saito said he volunteered for the producer post after momentum for a sequel grew inside Happinet, telling his superiors, "Is no one going to make Brigandine? If so, I'll do it!" He described the project's start as full of trial and error. The regular package and download versions cost 9,020 yen, while the package-exclusive Limited Edition runs 18,480 yen.
