The isekai genre takes a leap into the world of video games with the launch of ISEKAI ∞ ISEKAI, a title that promises to unite the universes of some of the most popular anime franchises. Developed by Colopl, this highly anticipated game will be available on January 27, 2025 for iOS, Android and PC, offering fans a unique experience where they will be able to interact with iconic characters from their favorite series.
ISEKAI ∞ ISEKAI: The anime crossover game coming this January.
Colopl has officially announced the release date of its highly anticipated mobile and PC game, Isekai Infinity Isekai. The title, which promises to bring together some of the most iconic characters of the isekai genre, will be available from January 27, 2025 on iOS, Android and PC platforms.
The first season of the game will include characters from acclaimed series such as Mushoku Tensei, That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime (Tensura), Sword Art Online (SAO) and Shangri-La Frontier. In the official trailer, fans have been able to appreciate the three-dimensional models of the main characters, which has generated great expectation for the level of detail and fidelity in their designs.
One of the most exciting news for those who download the game at launch is that they will be able to choose two iconic characters to start their journey: Rimuru Tempest from Tensura and Kirito from SAO. This guarantees an initial experience full of action and nostalgia for fans of the genre. The game promises mechanics that combine RPG and strategy elements, along with special events that will unlock more characters and exclusive abilities.b
While many fans are excited for the release, reactions on social media have been mixed. Some positive comments highlight the enthusiasm for seeing characters from different franchises brought together in a single world. “Kirito and Sankura are in the same universe, this is awesome,” mentioned one user on an anime forum.
On the other hand, other fans have shown skepticism, especially due to the involvement of COLOPL, a developer known for its gacha games. “It looks interesting, but when I saw COLOPL, I thought, ‘Ah, another gacha.’ I’ll have to wait and see how it evolves after launch,” commented one fan. In addition, some have questioned the selection of franchises included, suggesting that not all qualify as isekai in the strict sense: “It’s obvious that they used the most popular franchises, like SAO and Shangri-La Frontier, but not all of them are isekai. It’s a bit disappointing.”
For those who are already fans of gacha games, the release of ISEKAI ∞ ISEKAI represents a new challenge. Many have expressed concern about the time and resources involved in playing a new title of this type. “I’m already playing too much gruel. Damn, how can I find time for this game too?” joked one player.
With a release so close, expectations are sky high. Colopl has the opportunity to prove that this game can become a benchmark in the genre, both for its gameplay and for the way it connects the stories of some of the most beloved anime by fans.
It only remains to wait until January 27 to find out if this crossover will meet expectations and manage to position itself as a must-have title for anime and video game lovers.
In short, ISEKAI ∞ ISEKAI has the potential to mark a before and after in anime-based games, uniting fans of different franchises under the same universe full of possibilities. If it manages to maintain the balance between an immersive narrative, well-designed game mechanics and good community management, it could become a benchmark for the genre and leave a lasting impact on both the world of video games and pop culture.
