Following ARPG Tribe Nine's cancellation, many questioned developer Akatsuki Games' next move. Their upcoming adaptation of Naoya Matsumoto's acclaimed manga Kaiju No. 8 appears poised for success.

Kaiju No. 8 The Game will follow the original storyline while introducing new content, including the recently unveiled First Division captain Gen Arumi's special artwork and teaser footage.
