Arc System Works has announced their new tactical RPG Qliphah in Providence's Shadow, set to release for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5 and PC on September 24th, 2026.
You can learn all the details below, or head over to the official website to wishlist or pre-order the game today.
About:
The story takes place in a monster-infested Tokyo, where supernatural phenomena and mysterious entities wreak havoc. Qliphah in Providence's Shadow follows Soma Hoshigami, a young delivery driver who is attacked by a supernatural creature and transformed into a hybrid being—half human, half monster. He is subsequently taken in as a "lost property" case by Rena Hizuki, an investigator with the Metropolitan Police Department's Public Anomalies Division.
In a world where supernatural corruption is causing reality itself to collapse, players take control of the duo as they battle powerful enemies in style while uncovering the mystery behind the world's transformation. Their investigation leads them to a mysterious cult operating in the shadows and a new drug known as "Tiny Truth," which is spreading throughout Tokyo.
Featuring a unique combat system where timing is everything, players investigate supernatural incidents across the city while facing formidable foes. By adapting their abilities to match enemy skills, they can unleash devastating counters and use tactical slow motion to anticipate attacks and turn the tide of battle.
Meet the Protagonists
Rena Hizuki, (Female, 28)
Voice : Ikumi Hasegawa
An investigator with the Metropolitan Police Department's Public Security Bureau, Foreign Affairs Division 5, Second Anomaly Investigation Unit.
Her Stigma extends across her entire body, centered around her chest, and grants her a Demonic Eye capable of seeing her own future.
She wields an unnamed cursed ceremonial blade acquired from an antique market in China, which serves as her key weapon.
Possessing a limited ability to manipulate space, Rena defeats Aberrations not by cutting them down, but through the power of separation itself.
Soma Hoshigami, (Male, 20)
Voice : Itsuki Tousei
After being recovered by Rena, Soma is officially classified as a "lost property" item by the Metropolitan Police Department's Public Security Bureau, Foreign Affairs Division 5, Second Anomaly Investigation Unit.
Since he had already undergone a partial transformation before being found, he is no longer treated as human for administrative convenience.
His Stigma manifests across his lower abdomen and both arms. A mutant in a state of partial transformation toward Level One, Soma unconsciously distorts the surrounding space.
His mutation allows him to attack by manifesting conceptual "fangs and jaws" through his punches and kicks.
