Co-op Camping Car Game","summary":"Pathea Games announced Seikyu: Let's Go! on September 28, 2026, a co-op camping car road trip game developed by ACE Entertainment. The title is planned for PC via Steam in the fourth quarter of 2026 and will support Japanese text. Up to four players take the roles of cute yokai who travel around Seikyu Island in a handmade camper van, with no fixed role divisions such as driver or navigator. Players can stop at roadside points of interest, solve challenges together, lower a suspension bridge, operate a Ferris wheel, set up camp, and cook. The game carries on the worldview of the slow-life RPG Seikyu Monogatari, which ACE Entertainment also developed and which officially released on June 11, 2026. Mishaps such as the car getting stuck in a ditch or rolling over happen along the way. A playtest has also begun alongside the announcement, letting players experience the first map.","whyItMatters":"The project reportedly grew out of a roughly four-hour drive the development team took in 2025 from Hangzhou to a game event in Shanghai, and was pushed forward in about one month.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eACE Entertainment returns to the island it built for its slow-life RPG.
