Acquire has seven titles in development, including independently developed and jointly developed titles, company president Takuma Endo told Famitsu.

Only three upcoming titles have been officially announced by Acquire: XALADIA: Rise of the Space Pirates X2, Class of Heroes 2 Remaster, and AMEDAMA in cooperation with IzanagiGames.

According to Endo, IzanagiGames is the developer of AMEDA, while Acquire is in charge of planning. Endou described it as a “somewhat unusual arrangement,” but stressed that its development resources were at capacity.

One of Acquire’s unannounced titles is a dungeon crawler, which Endo describes as cute, but “quite difficult.” It tells the story of a girl—an ancient weapon—who awakens in a dungeon.

Another new title incorporates elements of card game-esque deck building. Internal beta testing is already underway and the reception has been positive. While it was initially planned to be a digital-only game, Acquire is considering a Japan-only physical release. Depending on how much it sells, the company may also consider doing a physical release overseas.

The company also plans to share various information around Tokyo Game Show 2023, which will run from September 21 to 24 at Makuhari Messe in Chiba, Japan, including the new title featuring deckbuilder
