The OFF remake is available digitally on PC and Switch, with a physical edition and a premium Bad Human Edition preordering now for a September 3 release.
OFF, the freeware RPG originally released in 2008 by Mortis Ghost's Belgian team, received a remake that launched digitally for PC and Switch in March 2026. The remake features revamped battles, new areas, and new bosses. On May 28, 2026, Fangamer Japan opened preorders for a physical edition of the Switch version, set for release on September 3.
Two physical versions are available. The standard package includes the game, an instruction manual, and a "Memories of the Park" commemorative art card. The Fangamer Japan-exclusive Bad Human Edition adds a Batter bobblehead doll, a set of six tarot-style cards in a foil-stamped passport case, and a 16-page prequel comic titled "OF" by original creator Mortis Ghost. The physical edition supports Japanese, English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, and Portuguese. Select retailers including Animate and Amazon Japan offer store-specific purchase bonuses such as can badges, can magnets, acrylic keychains, bromide prints, and purification stickers.
The other two stories in the cluster are unrelated to OFF. One covers the release of Coffee Talk Tokyo, a spin-off developed by Chorus Worldwide. The other covers the Akane-Banashi anime, which premiered in April 2026 and streams on YouTube and Netflix. Neither story provides information about OFF.
