G-MODEアーカイブス+ ナムコクロニクル

G-MODE Archives+ Namco Chronicle is available on PC and Nintendo Switch following its May 28, 2026 release, priced at 800 yen. It is the second Bandai Namco Entertainment title revived under the G-MODE Archives+ label, after Xenosaga Pied Piper.

Synthesized from 15 Yomimono stories · updated 3d ago

G-MODE Archives+ Namco Chronicle came out on PC and Nintendo Switch on May 28, 2026, priced at 800 yen. The release revives a feature phone tactical RPG that gathered characters from older Namco titles, including Valkyrie from The Adventure of Valkyrie, Gil from The Tower of Druaga, Beraboh Man, Mappy, Taira no Kiyomori from Genpei Touma Den, and Wagyan from Wagyan Land. Its story runs across three arcs: Fantasy, City, and Space. Adventure segments between simulation battles carry crossover stories that step outside the settings of the original games.

The Namco Chronicle release was the second Bandai Namco Entertainment title in the G-MODE Archives+ line, following Xenosaga Pied Piper. The line then added Pac-Man and Lost Chronicle, and by September 2026, with the feature phone Ridge Racer dated for Switch and Steam, that count had reached five. Ridge Racer itself arrives with three difficulty modes and a time trial against rival cars, priced at 800 yen.

Coverage of the Archives+ line sits inside a wider G-MODE push. The company used a May 2026 announcement to date Namco Chronicle, then spent the summer adding Lost Chronicle, Kijin Densetsu STRIKE-G-, and a Switch release for Toudou Ryuunosuke Detective Diary Vol. 8. In September it brought a Portopia remake and a new Acacia RPG to Tokyo Game Show. By October, the Portopia remake was playable on Switch 2 and Switch.
