Idea Factory International has announced that it will release Villion:Code in the West in January 2027. The action RPG launched in Japan in June 2026. This will be the first time it is available for PC. Its production team includes producer Kouji “Cozy” Okada, artist Ilya Kuvshinov, scenario writer Tadashi Satomi, and composer Tsukasa Masuko.
Set in the near future, humanity is teetering on the brink of extinction due to an incoming calamity. The Adhvan Resilience School was specifically started to take it on. When monstrous creatures start attacking, the academy city seals itself off using a mysterious bubble. Now, those trapped inside must face the burdens of their sins.
Here are the game’s key features, via IFI:
- Sankhara Space-Time Oddity – Traverse Adhvan City and explore the Sankhara Space Time—randomly generated, 360-degree tube-shaped dungeons inspired by Buddhism’s The Ten Evils. Battle GEMs and overcome tricky gimmicks that stand in your way.
- Finding a Favourite Trait – Characters wield Genome Arms—mutated weapons with unique attack traits. Switch seamlessly between melee and ranged combat styles to chain together powerful combos.
- Crafting Genes With Genome Cubes – Collect Ampules from dungeons to synthesize Genome Cubes. Players can further strengthen their Genome Cubes by collecting EX Factors—items found in dungeons and in shops that enhance Base Stats, grant additional bonuses, and unlock Passive Skills to gain an edge against the GEMs.
- What’s in a Story? – Experience the story through Conversation and Investigation events featuring artwork by Ilya Kushinov. Make split-second choices that can shape the future.
Here is the announcement trailer from last month:
In North America, physical editions will launch for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch. In Europe, there is only one physical edition, for PlayStation 5. Digitally, a Deluxe Edition will be available, including the base game, a digital art book, and a digital soundtrack.
Developed by Compile Heart and published by Idea Factory International, Villion:Code will release for PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Switch 2, and Switch on January 26.
