Many anime fans like to see their favorite stories in different formats, since it is a new opportunity to interact with their favorite characters and get into these different worlds. That is why, on this occasion, we present you a list of some video games based on anime series that are about to be released and that you definitely can not miss.
Upcoming anime-based video game releases
Cardcaptor Sakura Memory Key
This is a gacha-like video game based on the hit anime of the same name, Cardcaptor Sakura that will be released on September 12. It will be available for both Android and iOS devices and here we will have the story of Sakura and her friends on an adventure to capture the Clow Cards that have been released from a magical card being.
Although the Memory Key video game is based on Clear Card, the game contains events that are distributed throughout the series, that is, you will be able to find characters, locations and key points in the story, as well as your favorite Clow Cards. In addition, you will be able to customize your favorite characters, decorate your own room in “Sakura’s Dollhouse”, among other fantastic functions.
Bleach Soul Puzzle
Due to the 20th anniversary of the Bleach anime, which will be celebrated on October 5, several projects related to Tite Kubo’s work have been announced, among them this video game for mobile devices. We don’t have a concrete release date yet, but we already have quite a few very exciting details about what we can expect from this game.
Basically, it’s a “match-3 puzzle” game, where you have to match three items of the same color to clear the boards. At first glance, it sounds like a generic game, but the fun here is that you can also immerse yourself in the Bleach anime universe, in which Ichigo, Rukia, Inoue, among other characters, will accompany you to live diverse adventures.
As you arrange the pieces to empty the boards, information about the missions you will carry out with the Bleach main characters will also appear on the sides, so you will gradually confront diverse enemies. Another great feature of this videogame is that you will be able to unlock different characters and customize them to your liking.
The organizers of the game promise great things such as being able to recreate iconic scenes from the anime. In addition, all those who register in advance can participate to win an autograph from Masakazu Morita, the “seiyu” of Ichigo Kurosaki.
Jujutsu Kaisen Phantom Parade
This game based on the popular anime Jujutsu Kaisen, which in turn is based on the manga created by Gege Akutami, was released in November 2023. This is a role-playing game that presents us with a continuation of the first arcs of the manga, with a new plot where we have characters already known from the anime, as well as some new ones. In Jujutsu Kaisen: Phantom Parade, we will accompany Yuji, Megumi and Nobara where they will meet allies and face powerful enemies such as Mahito, Jogo and Sukuna.
In this game, you will have to form your own team with your favorite characters, gathering them throughout the story and also participating in the gacha. You will have to train these characters so that you can face the curses in turn-based combat, where each character will have unique abilities. In order to defeat the enemies, the alliance between the characters is of vital importance. In addition, in the dubbing we will find the same actors who give voice to the characters of the Jujutsu Kaisen anime.

Tokyo Ghoul: Break the Chains
The card game Tokyo Ghoul: Break the Chains is based on the popular anime Tokyo Ghoul. Here, we will accompany Ken Kaneki, the main character of this story, and you will be able to have fantastic card battles by creating your own team and thus, demonstrating your strategic ability.
The way this game is played is that you will have to build your own deck of cards to be able to confront diverse enemies. This is achieved by advancing in the story, participating in events and trying your luck in the gacha. It is a video game suitable for people who are fans of Tokyo Ghoul, as well as those who know nothing about this anime.
Another cool feature of this video game is that it is not limited to only one game mode, we have the main one which is story based and is made for single player, but you can also play together with your friends or other players online. The story of Tokyo Ghoul: Break the Chains, keeps the same line of the anime and manga, in a world where there are these creatures called ghoul that feed on humans and likewise, we focus on the main character, Ken Kaneki and the Anteiku cafeteria.
