TSURUGIHIME Revealed for Steam with 100-Day Action RPG System

TSURUGIHIME Set for Steam Release in 2026 from Fate/Grand Order Creator

A side-scrolling Action RPG where every decision across 100 days shapes your fate.

A new Action RPG titled TSURUGIHIME is officially heading to Steam in 2026. Developed by a team led by Yosuke Shiokawa, known for his work on Fate/Grand Order and Kingdom Hearts, the game blends fast-paced combat with a unique time-based progression system.

A 100-Day Journey That Defines Your Ending

At the core of TSURUGIHIME is a 100-day cycle leading up to a final battle. During this limited time, players are free to shape their journey however they choose.

Each day presents meaningful decisions. Players can focus on training to grow stronger, fighting powerful enemies early, or even living peacefully without engaging in combat. Every action influences both character strength and story direction, resulting in multiple possible endings.

This structure encourages replayability, as different choices lead to entirely different outcomes.

Combat and Progression Systems

The game features side-scrolling action combat combined with deep customization.

Players begin their journey with a single weapon. Over time, they can unlock and choose from more than 1,000 different weapons. Each selection directly affects combat style, allowing players to create their own unique builds and strategies.

Another standout mechanic is the Tsurugi power, which allows players to manipulate fate itself. This ability introduces dynamic gameplay options such as transforming items, removing enemies instantly, or even rewinding time to revisit previous days.

Hand-Drawn Visual Style

TSURUGIHIME features hand-drawn 2D visuals that deliver a distinctive artistic identity.

The art style blends fantasy elements with a sense of solitude, creating a unique atmosphere that complements the game’s narrative themes and emotional tone.

A Team of Industry Veterans

Despite being positioned as an indie project, TSURUGIHIME is backed by an impressive team of experienced creators:

• Yosuke Shiokawa (Director), known for Fate/Grand Order, Kingdom Hearts, and Dissidia Final Fantasy
• KUROBOSHI KOUHAKU (Character Designer), recognized for Kino’s Journey and Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online
• Takeharu Ishimoto (Composer), known for The World Ends with You, Kingdom Hearts, and Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII

This lineup suggests a strong focus on storytelling, character depth, and music, alongside its gameplay systems.

Wishlist Now Ahead of 2026 Release

TSURUGIHIME is currently available to wishlist on Steam. The game will support English, Japanese, and Chinese languages at launch.

With its combination of action gameplay, time-based decision-making, and narrative branching, TSURUGIHIME is shaping up to be one of the more distinctive RPG releases to watch in 2026.
