Amphibian

Two currently reported projects: the FGO Halloween 2026 event, which opened September 16 and runs until October 7, and the frog RPG Amphibian, which showed world premiere footage at gamescom 2026 and has no release date.

Synthesized from 2 Yomimono stories · updated Sep 19

The name Amphibian covers two separate works in Yomimono's recent coverage. The first is a frog RPG from JARCORP Interactive, titled simply Amphibian. It was unveiled through a world premiere trailer at the Future Games Show during gamescom 2026. The game is a retro-style turn-based RPG set in a fantasy land of bipedal talking frogs who face an invading toad army during a sweeping drought. It skips traditional leveling and economy systems in favor of resource management and a branching class system. It is coming to PC via Steam, Nintendo Switch, PS5, and Xbox. No release date was given.

The second is the writer amphibian, who handled the scenario for Fate/Grand Order's 2026 Halloween event, "Kutabare! Pumpkin Farm Slaughter." The event opened September 16 at 20:00 and runs through October 7. This is the slot that had previously been filled by the Elizabeth-centered Halloween story, and amphibian is known for Raging Loop and previously wrote FGO's Imaginary Scramble and Mystery House Crafters.

On the FGO side, the event story has Trismegistus warn of an external cracking attack on Chaldea, with Masters departing for a Singularity found before the system goes down. Elizabeth and others appear in a suspenseful Halloween built on deception and bloodshed. Participation requires clearing "The Beginning of After Time." New Spiritron Dresses are planned for Baobhan Sith, Watanabe no Tsuna, Jack the Ripper, Tutankhamun, and Kukulkan. A Spiritron Dress for Henry Jekyll and Hyde is delayed, with timing during the event period unclear. The new 5-star Berserker Daedalus debuts, voiced by Ayumi Ohashi with illustration by Toru Nakayama, available through a pickup summon from September 16 at 20:00 to October 7 at 12:59.
