One is a casual farm simulation spun off from Guardian Tales, one is a dark fantasy soulslike built around exploration and weapon builds, and one is a steampunk-tinged strategy card RPG that opened service in October. Their progress sits on Chinese platforms and storefronts, so the practical question for Japanese players is whether any of the three gets a release plan at all.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e代号：坎農 (Guardian Tales farm spin-off)\u003c/strong\u003e: Android APK beta distributed through QQ, with farm visits and guild features\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFYORA\u0026#39;S SOULS\u003c/strong\u003e: Obelisk-developed mobile soulslike, China service set for December 17, 2026\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e星途天城\u003c/strong\u003e: Strategy card RPG, Android and iOS service began in China on October 22\u003c/li\u003e\u003c/ul\u003e","blueskyPost":"Guardian Tales moving its farm spin-off to QQ is a bet on chat-app distribution rather than an app-store listing.

That distribution route is why no Japan release is confirmed.","threadsPost":"Guardian Tales running its farm spin-off as a QQ beta in China points to distribution, not content, as the gap. Chat-app betas reach testers without an app-store listing, and Xingtou Tiancheng and FYORA'S SOULS are also China first.
