Upcoming Gacha Games releasing in 2025 and later

2025 is in full swing, and Gacha fans already have more than enough reasons to be excited, as the year is expected to follow 2024's lineup of stellar Gacha games with a few heavy-hitting releases of its own. To help you keep track and find a new title to fall in love with, here are the biggest Gacha games set to be released in 2025 and beyond.

Much like Cyberpunk 2077's Night City, the setting also seems to be the star here, as players will be given the freedom to explore it to their hearts' content, be it by swinging among skyscrapers, joining in on a myriad of activities, or even taking the wheel in both leisure rides and epic chases.

The game also promises to provide a unique focus on skill-based PVP content, where knowing how to play and counter multiple characters will be the keys to victory. Duet Night Abyss Image via Hero Games Developer: Hero Games Subgenre: Action Adventure RPG The most unique among our shortlist, Duet Night Abyss earned the spotlight via its unique combat system, which focuses on mobility while mixing both action RPG and 3rd-person FPS elements. To be more specific, the latter is seen in the way all characters can freely switch between a wide array of melee and ranged weapons when in combat, all while still having access to unique kits featuring regular skills, ultimates, and passives. The game's main story also shows a lot of promise. In it, players will take on the role of a duo of protagonists (the Proxyhunter and the Boy/Girl in the Dream) and experience two separate but still intertwined stories, each featuring a different feel and cast.

In the game, players will take on the role of the Seer, the Head Librarian of the Library of Babel, as they fight their way to uncover all of the secrets found within the library and its seemingly infinite Unknown Sector.

Upcoming Gacha Games releasing in 2025 and later

2025 is in full swing, and Gacha fans already have more than enough reasons to be excited, as the year is expected to follow 2024's lineup of stellar Gacha games with a few heavy-hitting releases of its own. To help you keep track and find a new title to fall in love with, here are the biggest Gacha games set to be released in 2025 and beyond.

The best upcoming Gacha games

Arknights: Endfield

Developer: Hypergryph
Subgenre: Open World RPG / Action Adventure

A sequel/spin-off to one of the genre's flagships, Arknights: Endfield brings all of the visual charm the franchise is known for to the 3D medium, and yes, it looks just as stunning as you can expect. Taking place in Talos-II, the game will see players take on the role of the Administrator as they and their operators explore and uncover the truth within this new world.

Edgefield will also mark a shift in the franchise's combat system in favor of a real-time tactical-based style set to make Xenoblade fans feel strangely at home. Of course, a revamped version of the original's base system is also here. You can check our thoughts on the game and more regarding both its combat and Factory system in our Arknights: Endfield beta impressions.

Ananta

Developer: Naked Rain
Subgenre: Open World RPG / Action Adventure

Previously known as Project Mugen, Ananta is set to put players in the shoes of an elite Anti-Chaos Directorate agent as they fight to keep order in Nova City, a beautiful metropolis brimming with life and unique chaotic energy.

Much like Cyberpunk 2077's Night City, the setting also seems to be the star here, as players will be given the freedom to explore it to their hearts' content, be it by swinging among skyscrapers, joining in on a myriad of activities, or even taking the wheel in both leisure rides and epic chases. From combat to fell, I can only summarize Ananta as GTA meets Genshin Impact.

The Hidden Ones

Developer: Morefun Studios
Subgenre: 3D Fighter

Based on Dong Man Tang and Mi Er's The Outcast franchise, The Hidden Ones promises to bring a perfect balance of cinematic storytelling and pristine graphics, all paired with a fast-paced combat system that mixes mythical martial arts with the grounds set by arena fighters. The game also promises to provide a unique focus on skill-based PVP content, where knowing how to play and counter multiple characters will be the keys to victory.

Duet Night Abyss

Developer: Hero Games
Subgenre: Action Adventure RPG

The most unique among our shortlist, Duet Night Abyss earned the spotlight via its unique combat system, which focuses on mobility while mixing both action RPG and 3rd-person FPS elements. To be more specific, the latter is seen in the way all characters can freely switch between a wide array of melee and ranged weapons when in combat, all while still having access to unique kits featuring regular skills, ultimates, and passives.
