Eternal Palace Sakura, a roguelite 3D action game developed by the indie game circle Denneko Yuugi (電猫遊戯) and published by Shochiku, has been set for release on November 5, 2026 (Thursday). In addition to the previously announced Steam version, a Nintendo Switch version will launch at the same time.
A crowdfunding project called the "Release Support Project" (発売応援プロジェクト) has also started on CAMPFIRE, offering rewards such as exclusive original goods and early download keys. In addition, a new demo with added elements and an announcement trailer have been released.
About Eternal Palace Sakura
Eternal Palace Sakura is a roguelite 3D action game set in an ever-changing labyrinth of dreams, combining flashy battles with strategic build-crafting. Players control Retla, a "cool yet cute" tan-skinned, cat-eared, hooded dual-blade fighter, and aim to take on the powerful bosses and end-game content lurking deep within the floors.
Battles are built around intuitive controls, where mashing buttons strings together showy combos. The ultimate technique "Over Arts" (オーバーアーツ) offers a satisfying, game-turning finishing move. Players can also freely combine more than 50 kinds of power-up items called "Attributes" (アトリビュート) to build their own style. Adding a risk-management element, "Dream Depth" (夢幻深度) applies debuffs and strengthens enemies the further players progress. Together, these give the game plenty of content and replay value that invite repeated challenges.
Story
The heroine, cat-eared Retla (レトラ＝ストルティン), has come to the far eastern country of Ouran (オウラン) after hearing rumors of a phantom palace. The rumor says that in the dreamlike palace, those who overcome its trials will obtain a relic of the gods. Retla finally reaches the palace, but as soon as she steps inside, she is trapped within. Can she overcome the trials of Eternal Palace Sakura and solve the mystery of the palace?
Latest Demo and Announcement Trailer Now Available
A new demo is now available on Steam, with significantly upgraded visuals and a more satisfying feel, including UI presentation and hit reactions. An announcement trailer showing Retla in motion and intense battle scenes has also been released, so players can try the game ahead of launch.
Crowdfunding "Release Support Project" Now Open on CAMPFIRE
With the release date now set, a "Release Support Project" has started on the crowdfunding platform CAMPFIRE. The project aims to build excitement for the world of Eternal Palace Sakura ahead of release and to create the work together with the fans who support it.
Backers can receive a wide range of special rewards, including a "Steam download key" that lets them play the full game before its release, goods available nowhere else, and having their name listed in the end credits.
