AMATA Games, the indie publishing brand of Amata, is preparing to release Crescent Tower: RISING on Steam and will exhibit three horror titles at Tokyo Horror Special Zone!! in September 2026.
AMATA Games is an indie publishing brand introduced by Amata in August 2026, when it announced a booth at the Tokyo Horror Special Zone!! event. The event, held September 11 to 13 at Tokyo Dome City Prism Hall, features playable units for three horror titles: Shinjuku Ihen, Kinki Reimu Kyoku, and Manny's. Shinjuku Ihen is a pre-release horror visual novel, while the other two are currently available.
Days later, AMATA Games announced its next project, Crescent Tower: RISING, a sequel to the 8-bit style open dungeon RPG Crescent Tower, for release on Steam. The release date and price are undecided. The sequel is developed by solo developer kare-korokke, who also made the original. The game retains strategic command battles and mapping-based exploration, and adds a five-chapter omnibus story following different protagonists, including humans, former frogs, beastfolk, elves, and dragons, who each explore their own dungeons before uniting to conquer the Mikazuki Tower.
The class count expands from nine to 14, and a new skill block system lets players place skills of different shapes onto a skill board. Skills can also be used in field exploration, such as a dragon character's flame clearing obstacles. Estimated playtime is 15 to 25 hours, up from the original's 10 to 20 hours. Supported languages include Japanese, English, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Korean, German, and French.

It supports English, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese.
