10.Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis

As a project to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of Final Fantasy VII, 《Final Fantasy VII Ever》Crisis plans to retell the Final Fantasy VII series of games, including the side content, into one singular experience for smartphones. A closed beta test of the game is set to be held in the summer of 2023 worldwide, so the mobile game will most probably come at the end of the year or 2024.

In this real-time auto-battling RPG, players can play through an abridged version of FF7 legendary episodes at any time from beginning to end. The mobile game will also feature a new original story exploring the untold past and origins of characters like Sephiroth. In terms of battles, characters attack foes by themselves, but aside from that, you’ll be the one dictating their actions from whether they should go on the offensive or defensive.

11.DanMachi Battle Chronicle

Celebrating the 10th anniversary of the light novel series, 《Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?/ DanMachi Battle Chronicle》 was announced for mobile and planned for a Spring 2023 release in Japan. Unlike the other mobile entries of the series, It will be a 3D-action RPG that allows you to relive the story and famous battles in anime-like 3D graphics.

In simple yet profound battles, players can enjoy exhilarating action with a variety of attacks and evasions, including the special moves that appear in the series. Make your own party by combining multiple training elements such as Adventurers, Assistants, and Scene Cards, and set out on your own adventures.

12.Laid-Back Camp Mobile: Everyone Connected All-In-One

The popular manga and anime series Laid-Back Camp is finally been adapted into a mobile game with a Spring 2023 planned release date! While it may be hard for fans to imagine how the series’ relaxing and easygoing lifestyle is put on mobile devices, 《Laid-Back Camp Mobile: Everyone Connected All-In-One》 is actually an adorable camping simulation game where you customize your campsites to be the best it can be for the girls!

The mobile game also has a story mode so that you can take the girls along for an adventure of camping fun and relatable situations, pick up new outfits and accessories for them, make food and improve on local campsites found throughout Japan and the Yamanashi area.

The game features over 1000 items for you to customize your campsite, creating multiple kinds of camp layouts based on the experience you want your girls to have.

13.Towa Tsugai

《Towa Tsugai》 is said to be a “couple-training fantasy RPG” by Square Enix. Set in a world eroded by the “black sea” and overrun with magical beasts coming from its waters, the title follows the girls that specialized in taking on these beasts. Known as “Birds”, the girls pair up together and become “couples,” which immensely grows their power. Towa Tsugai is scheduled to release for iOS and Android on February 16, 2023.

In this upcoming mobile game, players get to pick between a wide variety of characters voiced by recognizable voice actors, and pair them up with their chosen bird to become “Couples”. Train your couples, bond, grow, and fight together to become powerful enough to end this threat once and for all.

14.Honkai: Star Rail

As one of the stardom franchises of HoYoVerse, Honkai expands its universe to a brand new addition 《Honkai: Star Rail》, which takes place several years after Honkai Impact 3rd.

This sci-fi story starts off in space as the Astral Express and its crew makes their way to the Herta Space Station for a delivery. However, Voidrangers from the Antimatter Legion attack and so characters from both the Astral Express and the station has to fight them off.  During the skirmish, some new bonds are formed and characters are determined to go exploring different worlds in order to get answers on an object known as Stellaron.

While you can find similarities between Honkai: Star Rail and HoYoVerse’s biggest hit Genshin Impact when it comes to the 3D graphics and animation style, Honkai: Star Rail is actually a turn-based RPG instead of an open-world action game. What’s more important is that most of the signature characters from the Honkai franchise will return with new ones kept adding to the roster. The game is currently heading to its second beta and is slated to launch for PC and mobile sometime in 2023.

15.Zenless Zone Zero

HoYoVerse also has another game project,《 Zenless Zone Zero》, under its belt and this time, it will be an urban fantasy action RPG set in a post-apocalyptic metropolitan city. The game is said to have extreme action gameplay, as players take on the role of a “Proxy” to embark on an adventure to uncover the secrets in New Eridu, the last bastion of civilization.

The system appears to be outwardly similar to that used by Honkai Impact 3rd, with an emphasis on three-character teams fighting in relatively closed arenas, rapid character-switching, and flashy combos. The game will be released for PC, iOS, and Android; the date is yet to be revealed.

16.Infinity Nikki

Chinese developer Papergames is transforming its world-hit dress-up game Shining Nikki into a brand-new open-world game. Featuring a vast open world with the series’ fantasy worldview,《 Infinity Nikki 》is scheduled to be released worldwide on PlayStation, PC, iOS, and Android.

Get ready for a fantasy world where you can experience a variety of activities such as flying, fishing, and catching insects!

17.Limbus Company

The long-awaited《 Limbus Company》 has finally confirmed a worldwide release date on February 27 after several delays. As the third game from Project Moon, gamers’ expectations are rocket high considering the success of its two previous games, Lobotomy Corporation and Library of Ruina. All share the common theme of being inspired by horror stories, particularly the ones created through the SCP Foundation collaborative fiction project. Limbus Company is also the developer’s first attempt to tap into the mobile market.

As the commanding officer to the Sinners, you are tasked with attempting to contain and destroy the abnormalities left in the wake of the events of the previous two titles. Direct Sinners to fight enemies in turn-based combat, chaining together links and commands in a sort of Match-3, finger-swiping puzzle gameplay.

18.Blue Reflection Sun

Announced alongside the PC and console game Blue Reflection Tie, 《 Blue Reflection Sun 》is a mobile spinoff to the beloved bishojo franchise by Gust. Sticking to what the series was known for, Blue Reflection Sun focused on the concepts of interaction between the girls and personal growth through sharing experiences with people.

In Blue Reflection Sun, the world is covered in Ash, a substance that causes irreparable damage to the human body, while the girls also have to fight off vicious monsters by taking on the form of “Reflectors”, powerful magical girls able to wield the elements. The game is planned to release for mobile and PC via DMM Games in Japan this winter.

19.Evil Prince and the Puppet

Drecom joins hands with stage actor-training game A3!’s developer Liber Entertainment for 《Evil Prince and the Puppet》, a new dark fantasy adventure game that is slated to arrive in the mobile market in 2023 in Japan. The mobile game centers around Prince Dia, who destroyed his own country after falling into the darkness, the loyal knight Espada, and the princess of the neighboring country, Fiori.

Promoted as “an unprecedented story where demons and humans intersect,” the Joseimuke game wins the heart of the girls with tons of stunning visuals and character designs. It also raised some voices as Natsuki Hanae, the voice of Demon Slayer’s Tanjiro Kamado, is casting the role of a princess. On the contrary, Yū Kobayashi, who is known to be Ayame Sarutobi of Gintama, takes the role of the dark prince.
