Synthesized from 8 Yomimono stories · updated Oct 31

Moss Inc. confirmed on August 27 that Caladrius2/Dark Element will launch December 10. The game is a gothic bullet-hell shooter and a new entry in the Caladrius series, arriving 13 years after the original title. It is set for PS5, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam, with the download version priced at 5,478 yen. The announcement detailed the returning Shame Break system and new gameplay modes.

Two weeks earlier, on August 7, Moss had announced the game for this winter with a 5,980 yen standard package, an 11,800 yen special edition, and a 4,980 yen download version, all excluding tax. The Steam version is published by H2 INTERACTIVE. The August 7 announcement listed Story Mode, Arcade Mode, and Gallery, and said Alex Martin, a protagonist from the prior game, appears as a playable character. The game is rated CERO D.

On October 28 the Steam store page for Caladrius2/Dark Element was removed. Neither Moss nor H2 INTERACTIVE issued a notice, and the reason is unknown. SteamDB showed the page's content tags, including Nudity and Sexual Content, were being changed just before it disappeared. The game is still listed for December 10 on PC (Steam), Nintendo Switch, and PS5.

The other stories filed under the same name are not about Moss Inc. One concerns Moss-Image, a 5B-parameter open-weights image model released on October 16 by the Open MOSS Team. Another is Ammossum, a roguelike action game from West Glade. A third is "Moss: The Forgotten Relic" from Polyarc, and a fourth is "Moss Palace Parade" from TANGEKITAN. None of them come from the Caladrius studio.
