After shutting down its American operations, veteran Japanese studio behind beloved JRPGs launches cult action RPG in English to zero buzz and confused fans
This is Square Enix-level marketing

Level-5, the beloved Japanese studio behind games like Dark Cloud, Professor Layton, and Ni no Kuni, just released a localized version of its cult action RPG Megaton Musashi. But with the company's American branch recently shut do🎀wn, i🔯t looks like there's nobody around to market the thing, and the surprise launch has absolutely bewildered fans.
Megaton Musashi originally launched in Japan back in 2021, promoted alongside an anime series that's now run for multiple seasons. Billed ꦰas a "mecha action RPG," it plays similarly to cult classics like Custom Robo and Gundam Breaker, but with a heavy emphasis on an extensive story about young mech pilots fighting back against an alien invasion.

There have been a few reviews on since then - a few of which lament things such as "Why is this game not getting more attention?" - and they're absolutely glowing. It's clear a few hardcore fans of the franchise have been waiting a long, long time for this launch, but none of the marketing seems to have penetrated the wider gaming world despite t🔯he fact that Level-5 has put out plenty of well-known and well-loved games over the years.
