Marvelous showed Eternal Anima at its Pre-Tokyo Game Show 2026 event, and the time travel JRPG is scheduled for March 4, 2027, on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch 2, and Windows. Katsuhisa Higuchi, who was lead programmer on Chrono Trigger and worked on early Final Fantasy games, directs. Kazushige Nojima, a scenario writer on several Final Fantasy titles and the Kingdom Hearts series, wrote the story. The protagonist, Wade, sees the near future and reads the past by touching objects. Players travel between two eras to stop continents from sinking, and the choices made while altering the timeline carry consequences. In battle, Future Sight shows the turn order, incoming targets, and enemy weaknesses. Hitting a weakness stuns an enemy and delays its action, and repeated hits can remove it from the turn entirely, but the exploited weakness becomes an immunity on the following turn. Producer Makoto Shioda said the team spent over five years on the concept, built around the theme of legacy.
Marvelous will release ETERNAL ANIMA, a new turn-based JRPG, on March 4, 2027 for Nintendo Switch 2, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam, the Steam version arriving March 5 at 3:00. The title was first shown in 2023 as PROJECT LIFE is RPG and was formally revealed on September 9, 2026. Players control Wade, who uses the ability Dokushijutsu to read memories left in objects and travel between a submerged world's past and present. Combat runs on Future Prediction Battle, which displays enemy actions, damage, and turn order before a command is locked in, with no random damage or evasion. Striking a weakness pushes an enemy back on the timeline; repeated hits cancel its turn in a Break. Jobs and skills come through Wisdom Inheritance from relics. Director Katsuhisa Higuchi and producer Makoto Shiota spoke about the system in interviews published alongside hands-on previews.
