Gravity Game Arise revealed the final 12 titles for JALECO ARCADE COLLECTION Vol. 1 and Vol. 2, completing the full 32-game lineup. The standout is Chimera Beast, a bio-shooter canceled in 1993 after location tests, now revived for home consoles after over 30 years. Both volumes launch in fiscal 2026 for PC, Switch, and PS5.
The full lineup for the two-volume JALECO ARCADE COLLECTION is now public, and the headliner is a game that never made it to market. Chimera Beast, a side-scrolling shooter developed by C.P. Brain and slated for a 1993 release by Jaleco, was pulled just before its AOU show debut after location tests. Its defining mechanic let the player's creature, the Eater, consume enemies and absorb their abilities and appearance.
The game resurfaced in 2013 when a domestic cabinet appeared at the Mikado arcade in Takadanobaba, and unofficial channels later shared design documents and cut specs. Now it leads the Vol. 2 roster, which also includes Big Run, Psychic 5, and Second Earth Gratia. Vol. 1 adds P-47 ACES, 64th Street, and Best Bout Boxing. Both volumes arrive in fiscal 2026 on PC, Switch, and PS5, with physical editions planned for the consoles. A playable build appears at Tokyo Game Dungeon 13 on August 8.
