Arcanadea - Gleam Gatherers - is a smartphone action RPG from Kotobukiya, based on its Arcanadea plastic model series. Pre-registration is open, a 2026 release is planned, and new characters Arla and Marula were revealed in August 2026.
Kotobukiya announced Arcanadea - Gleam Gatherers - during a June 10 stream, marking the first mobile title tied to its Arcanadea plastic model line. The game is a smartphone action RPG, and pre-registration opened the same day as the announcement. A 2026 release is planned, and the stream showed character designs and in-game illustrations.
On August 3, during the Arcanadea August 2026 Talk Live stream, Kotobukiya revealed two new characters, Arla and Marula. Their designs feature demon-like wings and horns. The stream also released new illustrations of existing characters such as Veruruta, along with gameplay footage from the development environment, which previewed the SD character coordination system.
Together, the two streams establish the game's current state: pre-registration is live, the roster is expanding with new Dearz characters, and development is far enough along to show in-game footage. The franchise is moving from plastic models into mobile gaming under Kotobukiya's own direction.
