Happinet is publishing across two labels, the Happinet Indie Collection and its main booth slate, with Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Steam, and Switch 2 releases between August 2026 and 2027. Its confirmed 2026 releases are Brigandine Abyss and the Switch version of Artis Impact, with Yokai Buster Navinosuke and Sa[meow]rai dated to 2027.
Happinet's recent publishing slate runs from a same-day multi-platform launch to titles dated more than a year out. Brigandine Abyss arrived on August 27, 2026 for Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam, with a standard edition at 9,020 yen and a Limited Edition at 18,480 yen, and free demos on each platform covering the first two chapters of two scenarios. The Switch version of Artis Impact followed on September 17, 2026, priced at 4,950 yen physical and 2,750 yen download, adding Japanese and ten other languages to a Malaysian-made adventure RPG.
Two 2027 titles are set. Yokai Buster Navinosuke, a yokai-collecting pixel RPG developed by KOHACHI STUDIO, is coming to Switch and Steam under the Happinet Indie Collection label, with more than 200 yokai to seal and recruit. Sa[meow]rai: Gin'yoku no Nekozamurai, from GouHong Studio, is set for PC via Steam in spring 2027, built around a malfunctioning Reboot Device that limits each fight to roughly 10 seconds and rewinds time when the host takes a fatal wound.
Tokyo Game Show 2026, held September 17 to 21 at Makuhari Messe, is the throughline. Happinet's Hall 6 booth carries over 13 playable titles, among them Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, Beast of Reincarnation, and MELTY BLOOD: TWI-LUMINA, plus an Indie Game Corner and Family Game Park presence. Brigandine Abyss appears there with an AR monitor event, and Yokai Buster Navinosuke is slated for a playable exhibit.
Earlier, Happinet brought three titles to Tokyo Game Dungeon 13 on August 8, 2026: Tokyo Stories, Artis Impact, and Mononoke no Kuni. Drecom's Tokyo Stories, still without a release date, returns at the Happinet booth in Hall 6 with demo stations, a photo spot, and three novelty items, and the online TOKYO DIVE 360 degree tour launched September 14.

Drecom has detailed its Tokyo Game Show 2026 plans for Tokyo Stories, the in-development pixel art adventure about a vanishing Tokyo. The game will appear at the Happinet booth in Hall 6, with playable demo stations, a photo spot, and moving pixel art at the entrance. Three novelty items will be distributed, split between booth admission, demo play, and SNS follow plus wishlist registration. Online content TOKYO DIVE 360° launched September 14.
Happinet Corporation announced on September 10 that Sa[meow]rai: Gin'yoku no Nekozamurai, developed by GouHong Studio, will launch for PC via Steam in spring 2027. The 2D top-down action adventure is set in Seiryu City, a near-future metropolis where corporations and armed enforcement agencies hold the streets. The protagonist is a cat samurai with a malfunctioning Gyakusen-style Reboot Device implanted in their body. The device imposes a roughly 10-second limit on each fight; the player must kill every enemy before time runs out or the device kills the host. Each kill adds time, and combos add more. A fatal wound triggers the device's original function, rewinding time to the start of the fight. The katana is the basic weapon, with an Iai Slash for closing distance and parrying gunfire. Six weapon types appear in the current Steam demo, and a Hack Blade lets the player seize control of electronic devices such as automated turrets. Story choices determine endings.
Happinet announced on September 10 that Yokai Buster Navinosuke will be released in 2027 for Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam, under its Happinet Indie Collection label. The yokai-collecting pixel RPG is set in a fictional ancient Japan where Navinosuke, an apprentice onmyo student and karakuri puppet, resolves yokai incidents across various regions. Players seal and recruit more than 200 types of yokai, which have five attributes, and build freely customized parties for turn-based battles that use a shikigami system. Development is handled by KOHACHI STUDIO, the studio led by pixel artist akio, who worked on R-Type and Metal Slug. The game was originally produced in the early 2000s for the Game Boy Advance by the Metal Slug development team, completed but shelved, and after rights processing KOHACHI STUDIO holds the IP. Happinet also said a new trailer is out and a playable exhibit is planned for Tokyo Game Show 2026.
