Shueisha Games and developer koeda has announced the latest updates for ANTHEM#9, confirming a Winter 2025 (or late-2025) release window alongside expanded language support and significant visual enhancements. A new update trailer has also been released, aiming to highlight the game’s improved character models and upgraded 3D visuals. Furthermore, it has been confirmed that ANTHEM#9 will support Japanese, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, and Korean languages, in addition to English.
ANTHEM#9 is a deck-building roguelite that challenges players to strategically combine three types of gems in a puzzle-like system to execute powerful attacks. The game features procedurally generated dungeons where players collect “Skills” for offensive abilities and “Breaths” for buffs, creating opportunities for deep strategic play.
Players can also customize the colors of gems required to activate abilities, allowing for tailored deck-building and unique combat styles. High-damage combo chains, particularly during intense boss battles, are a defining aspect of the game’s combat mechanics.
