After shutting down its American operations, veteran Japanese studio behind beloved JRPGs launches cult action RPG in English to zero buzz and confused fans

Megaton Musashi W: Wired.

Level-5, the beloved Japanese studio behind games like Dark Cloud, Professor Layton, and Ni no Kuni, just released a localized version of its cult action RPG Megaton Musashi. But with the company's American branch recently shut down, it looks like there's nobody around to market the thing, and the surprise launch has absolutely bewildered fans.

Megaton Musashi originally launched in Japan back in 2021, promoted alongside an anime series that's now run for multiple seasons. Billed as a "mecha action RPG," it plays similarly to cult classics like Custom Robo and Gundam Breaker, but with a heavy emphasis on an extensive story about young mech pilots fighting back against an alien invasion.
