The best upcoming Gacha games
Arknights: Endfield
A sequel/spin-off to one of the genre’s flagships,Arknights: Endfieldbrings all of the visual charm the franchise is known for to the 3D medium, and yes, it looks just as stunning as you can expect. Taking place in Talos-II, the game will see players take on the role of the Administrator as they and their operators explore and uncover the truth within this new world.
Edgefieldwill also mark a shift in the franchise’s combat system in favor of a real-time tactical-based style set to makeXenobladefans feel strangely at home. Of course, a revamped version of the original’s base system is also here. You can check our thoughts on the game and more regarding both its combat and Factory system in ourArknights: Endfieldbeta impressions.
Ananta
Previously known asProject Mugen,Anantais set to put players in the shoes of an elite Anti-Chaos Directorate agent as they fight to keep order in Nova City, a beautiful metropolis brimming with life and unique chaotic energy.
Much likeCyberpunk 2077‘s Night City, the setting also seems to be the star here, as players will be given the freedom to explore it to their hearts’ content, be it by swinging among skyscrapers, joining in on a myriad of activities, or even taking the wheel in both leisure rides and epic chases. From combat to fell, I can only summarizeAnantaasGTAmeetsGenshin Impact.
The Hidden Ones
Based on Dong Man Tang and Mi Er’s The Outcast franchise,The Hidden Onespromises to bring a perfect balance of cinematic storytelling and pristine graphics, all paired with a fast-paced combat system that mixes mythical martial arts with the grounds set by arena fighters. The game also promises to provide a unique focus on skill-based PVP content, where knowing how to play and counter multiple characters will be the keys to victory.
Duet Night Abyss
The most unique among our shortlist,Duet Night Abyssearned the spotlight via its unique combat system, which focuses on mobility while mixing both action RPG and 3rd-person FPS elements. To be more specific, the latter is seen in the way all characters can freely switch between a wide array of melee and ranged weapons when in combat, all while still having access to unique kits featuring regular skills, ultimates, and passives.
The game’s main story also shows a lot of promise. In it, players will take on the role of a duo of protagonists (the Proxyhunter and the Boy/Girl in the Dream) and experience two separate but still intertwined stories, each featuring a different feel and cast.
Black Beacon
Made by many developers known for their work in Kuro Games’Punishing Gray Raven,Black Beaconseems to keep the former’s characteristic and eerie feel. The title also seems to add a new layer to its combo-based combat system. In the game, players will take on the role of the Seer, the Head Librarian of the Library of Babel, as they fight their way to uncover all of the secrets found within the library and its seemingly infinite Unknown Sector.
As there are as many gacha games as stars in the sky, don’t forget to let us know if you feel like we missed any upcoming 2025 releases or titles that, although under the radar, are set to bring something special to the table.
