Another Eden Begins launched for PC and Switch on September 17, 2026. It rebuilds Part 1 of the 2017 smartphone RPG Another Eden: The Cat Beyond Time and Space as a buy-to-play title with full voice acting and reworked battles, exploration, and character development.

Synthesized from 5 Yomimono stories · updated Sep 20

Another Eden Begins is a rebuild of Part 1 of Another Eden: The Cat Beyond Time and Space, the smartphone RPG that started in 2017. It reached PC and Switch on September 17, 2026 as a buy-to-play release with full voice acting, a 19-character party, and new battle systems. Masato Kato wrote it and Yasunori Mitsuda composed the main theme. The producer, Shinnosuke Hirasawa, told 4Gamer that the team first tried running the existing smartphone systems on console hardware, found them thin, and rebuilt movement, battle, and progression instead. The story stays, the fields around it were redrawn and expanded.

The approach to platforms shifted through the rollout. A free demo arrived September 3 on PC (Steam) and Nintendo Switch, covering the story through Chapter 6 with save data carrying over to the full version, and the full game was set for PC (Steam), Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2. By the week before launch, a Wasyagana TV episode on September 14 had hosts Yuichi Nakamura and Mafia Kajita playing through the rebuilt early portion and a bonus segment showing Cyrus's companion quest. When the game released on September 17, it was listed for PC and Switch.

The game had earlier appeared in a wider slate. At Anime Expo 2026 in July, Aksys Games announced six upcoming releases, including a new time-travel RPG from Masato Kato alongside sequels to Olympia Soiree and Illusion of Itehari, a shoot 'em up, a Cthulhu Mythos visual novel collection, and a puzzle adventure, with dates from Fall 2026 to Spring 2027.
