The game is a 3D action roguelite based on Daisuke Aizawa's light novel series The Eminence in Shadow. It will launch for PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store in 2027. Developer Aiming said the price is not yet set. The first trailer showed gameplay footage of the character Alpha using sword techniques and a Magic Awakening ability selection system, which randomly changes abilities each run to create unique combat combinations. The trailer also featured Delta and a hooded Shadow. This is the first console-oriented game in the franchise, following the mobile title Master of Garden, which launched in November 2022. An anime film, The Eminence in Shadow: Lost Echoes, is also scheduled for 2027. The light novels began serialization on the Shōsetsuka ni Narō website in May 2018, with Kadokawa publishing physical volumes starting in November 2018.","whyItMatters":"The announcement expands The Eminence in Shadow beyond mobile and anime into a console release, a move that gives the franchise's action combat a dedicated platform on current-generation hardware.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDeveloper Aiming announced the game on September 3, 2026, the same day the trailer aired during Sony\u0026#39;s State of Play livestream.\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAiming described Phantom Echoes as the first console-oriented 3D roguelite action game tied to the anime.\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe Magic Awakening system randomly enhances a character\u0026#39;s abilities on each run, pushing players to build unique combinations for combat against enemies.\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe trailer\u0026#39;s combat scenes center on Alpha\u0026#39;s sword techniques, with a blood-covered Delta and a deeply hooded figure resembling Shadow also appearing.\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe official PlayStation X account and the game\u0026#39;s official website both posted the announcement, and an English-language version of the trailer is available.\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe light novel series, illustrated by Tōzai, began serialization through Enterbrain in 2018, while the manga adaptation by Anri Sakano started in Kadokawa\u0026#39;s Comp Ace magazine in December 2018, followed by Seta U\u0026#39;s spinoff manga Shadow Side Story in July 2019.\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eYen Press holds the English licenses for both the light novels and the manga, and HIDIVE streamed the anime with a same-day English dub.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"The Eminence in Shadow gets its first console game: Phantom Echoes, a 3D roguelite with a Magic Awakening system, hits PS5, Switch 2, and PC in 2027.","twitterPost":"Alpha leads the charge in The Eminence in Shadow: Phantom Echoes.
