Gravity is both a 2D action platformer franchise and an SNS app. The first game is free on Steam until June 15, 2026, and a sequel is announced for 2027. The Gravity app is running a ranking event with VTuber Style magazine.
Gravity refers to two distinct entities covered by Yomimono: the 2D action platformer game series and the SNS app. The game franchise, published by Dear Villagers and developed by Domesticated Ant Games, saw its first title, Gravity Circuit, made free on Steam until June 15, 2026. The game normally costs ¥1,900 and holds an Overwhelmingly Positive rating on Steam, with 95% of approximately 2,900 user reviews positive. The free distribution coincided with the announcement of Gravity Circuit 2, scheduled for 2027 on PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch. The sequel introduces a second playable protagonist, Cable of the Power Circuit, who focuses on ranged attacks and can stay airborne with consecutive jumps, turning defeated enemies into ammunition. Both Cable and returning hero Kai progress through a shared campaign. The sequel features over 12 stages, new abilities gained from bosses, and Burst Skills for powerful special moves.
Separately, HiClub Inc. operates the SNS app Gravity. In July 2026, HiClub announced a collaboration with VTuber magazine VTuber Style. The "VTuber Style Magazine Feature Showdown" ranking event runs July 1-7, 2026, within the Gravity app. Winners earn a feature in the magazine's October 2026 issue, with the first-place winner also receiving an online interview article. The MVP supporter's icon and name will also appear in the magazine.
Gravity Game Arise, a different entity, runs the mobile game Nobunaga's Ambition: Road to Tenka, which held its first anniversary event in June 2026 featuring a free SSR Hashiba Hideyoshi login bonus, a new character Nene, and a third streamer-led faction war. That event runs until July 31 or until a faction captures Nijo Palace.

At CEDEC 2026 on July 22, 2026, Shuhei Yoshida of yosp delivered a keynote titled "Wonderful Games, Creators, and Their Creativity That I Have Encountered," looking back on roughly 30 years of working with game developers. Yoshida joined Sony Computer Entertainment in 1993 as employee number 32, later led first-party development in the United States, and left Sony Interactive Entertainment in 2025 to found yosp. During the speech, he covered 26 titles, with the latter half introducing 16 co-creation examples from "Gravity Daze" in 2012 to "Beast of Reincarnation" this year. He named "Journey" as the title he is most proud of, citing Jenova Chen's focus on player feelings and a fan message about overcoming grief. Yoshida also discussed "Bloodborne," calling the lack of a remaster, PC version, or sequel a "mystery," and recounted how "Demon's Souls" initially had overseas releases shelved before word of mouth changed that decision. He closed by expressing his intention to continue supporting indie creators worldwide.
Gravity Game Arise announced on July 30, 2026 that Aeruta, a bakery management and dungeon exploration action RPG developed by FromDawn Games, will be released for Nintendo Switch, PS5, and PS4. The release date is undecided. The game first launched in early access on PC via Steam in May 2024, with the full version following in November 2025. The story follows Chayachaya, a fox-eared girl who breaks a bakery's oven and works there to repay the damage, alternating between dungeon exploration and bakery management. In dungeons, she uses weapons like a whip, rolling pin, and rapier to fight cute but dangerous monsters and bosses, gathering bread ingredients. At the bakery, she bakes and sells bread, develops new recipes, repairs the store, and boosts her stats for future dungeon runs. Companions appear as the story progresses, with affection levels unlocking character episodes. Additional features include Patty Farm, where a dough monster named Patty can be raised to help with tasks, plus mini-games like a run game and rhythm game. The Steam version has received a 'Very Positive' rating, with 94% of about 2,300 user reviews positive. Physical editions and a Collector's Box with bonuses are planned for Switch and PS5.
