G-MODE announced on May 27, 2026 that "G-MODE Archives+ Namco Chronicle" will release for PC and Nintendo Switch on May 28. The title costs 800 yen. It is a tactical RPG originally developed as a feature phone app, now revived through the G-MODE Archives+ series. The game brings together characters from classic Namco (now Bandai Namco Entertainment) titles, including Valkyrie from "The Adventure of Valkyrie," Gil from "The Tower of Druaga," Beraboh Man from "Beraboh Man," Mappy from "Mappy," Taira no Kiyomori from "Genpei Tōma Den," and Wagyan from "Wagyan Land." The story is split into three arcs: Fantasy Arc, City Arc, and Space Arc. Between simulation segments, adventure segments feature crossover stories that go beyond the boundaries of the original games. This is the second Bandai Namco Entertainment title in the G-MODE Archives+ series, following "Xenosaga Pied Piper." The Steam store page is open for wishlist registration, and the Switch store page will open after midnight on May 28.
The game was originally a feature phone app, a format that G-MODE has been systematically porting to PC and Switch through its Archives+ line. "Namco Chronicle" is a tactical RPG where players pursue the treasure known as the Wonder Egg across three distinct story arcs, each set in a different genre world: fantasy, city, and space. The character roster includes Valkyrie, Gil, Beraboh Man, Mappy, Taira no Kiyomori, and Wagyan, with additional characters such as Momo from "Wonder Momo" and Kai from "The Tower of Druaga" appearing according to the sources. The adventure segments between the simulation phases are where the crossover stories unfold, letting characters interact across their original game boundaries. G-MODE opened the Steam store page ahead of launch and is accepting wishlist registrations. The Nintendo Switch store page will go live after 0:00 on May 28. The official website and a teaser video are also available. The game is priced at 800 yen and is rated for all ages.
