aNCHOR opened the Steam store page for Muv-Luv: Tactics - Karidasa's Nightmare on June 24, 2026. The game is a single-player tactical simulation RPG that inherits the spirit of the Muv-Luv Alternative series while pursuing pure fun as a game. Players lead a United Nations platoon against the BETA, humanity's alien enemy, in turn-based battles. The game consists of three phases: Sortie, Battle, and Dramatic. No prior knowledge of the Muv-Luv series is required. Alongside the store page, an official Discord server launched, and a new promotional video was released on the Muv-Luv YouTube channel. The official website is scheduled to open soon. Release is planned for 2027 on PC via Steam. The game was first announced in August 2024 under the working title MUV-LUV TACTICS. A crowdfunding campaign in November 2024 fell short of its goal but raised over 38 million yen from 1,523 backers. A backer-exclusive early download version was distributed in September 2025. Development is handled by fuzz, with game design supervision by Toshiro Tsuchida, plot and general supervision by Kouki Yoshimune, and military research and series composition by Takaaki Suzuki.
Developer fuzz, which previously worked on Project MIKHAIL and the Windows edition of Final Fantasy XV, is handling development. Game design supervision comes from Toshiro Tsuchida, known for the From Mission series. Kouki Yoshimune, director of Muv-Luv Alternative, oversees plot and general supervision. Military research and series composition are handled by Takaaki Suzuki, who worked on the Violet Evergarden anime.
The game's story is independent, set in a probability space-time adjacent to Muv-Luv Alternative, focusing on a girl's resolve and decision. Battles are turn-based but use a gridless map. Players can customize tactical weapons by recruiting guards and selecting equipment. The Steam page emphasizes that the game aims to deliver the fear of being trampled by the BETA and the thrill of tactical weapons breaking through desperate situations as a personal experience.
The crowdfunding campaign ran from November 2024 and, despite not reaching its goal, collected over 38 million yen from 1,523 supporters. A backer-exclusive early download version was released in September 2025. The official Discord server is now live, and the official website is expected soon.
