The anime tie-in video game, unless it is part of a major shounen brand such as Naruto, Bleach or Demon Slayer – there isn’t the greatest chance that it is headed to western markets. While it was more prominent during the PlayStation 2 era and both PlayStation and Nintendo’s handheld offerings, these games offer a splendid menagerie of different concepts – from the good to the less good. One surprising announcement comes from Bandai Namco Entertainment, who announced that the Forger family from Spy x Family will be making their playable video game debut in western markets next year in SpyxAnya: Operation Memories.
This game, in development for the PlayStation 4, Playstation 5, Nintendo Switch and Windows PC platforms, and will see players take control of the loveable, mischievous and naïve Anya forger, an orphan with telepathic abilities who was adopted by Loid Forger.
In SpyxAnya: Operation Memories, Anya receives a new assignment from school: creating a photo diary! Collect memories by going to school on weekdays while going out to all sorts of exciting places like the beach or an art museum on days off, in search of subjects to photograph. Take memorable pictures to complete her diary by living out the daily life as Anya in the world of “SPYxFAMILY”!
