MJ Co., Ltd. and SFG Co., Ltd. began free distribution of the 2D action game WOLF JOURNEY ~Wolf's Journey Around Japan~ on itch.io and browsers on August 24, 2026. It is the first co-developed title for both companies. Players control a wolf traveling through stages themed around regions of Japan, starting with a three-stage Hokkaido arc that unlocks a night version.
The first chapter takes place in Hokkaido, with snowfields, drift ice, and snowy mountains as its three stages. Clearing them unlocks a night version of the same arc, bringing the total to six stages that show the area in day and night.
Future chapters plan to move west and south, with settings such as torii gates, castles, and cherry blossom avenues. The two companies aim for a final structure of six chapters and 18 stages, and preparation for the chapter after Hokkaido is already underway.
The game runs in a browser with no installation, progress is auto-saved, and a space key performs a double jump.
