Qliphah in Providence's Shadow Brings Tactical Anime Horror to PC, PS5 and Switch — original editorial gaming news illustration

Arc System Works and UnitePlus release Qliphah in Providence's Shadow today in several western territories, introducing a tactical action-RPG set in a collapsing Tokyo overrun by creatures known as Aberrations. Delivery worker Souma Hoshigami is attacked and left in a half-transformed state before being taken into custody by Rena Hizuki, an investigator from a specialist Public Safety division dealing with mutation-related threats. The result sounds like somebody mixed urban fantasy, government bureaucracy and a very bad day working for Deliveroo. Arc System Works describes the combat as a Tactical Counter Timeline RPG, built around reading enemy actions and manipulating the flow of encounters rather than simply attacking until the numbers stop moving. The game also contains an unusual Mystic Pass system in which players decipher clues found through an in-game social-media feed or earn passes through combat to unlock additional material. Release-date listings differ slightly by region, with the Japanese official site listing September 24 while North American storefronts show September 23. Either way, today's western rollout gives players a distinctly darker alternative to September's sunnier releases, complete with ruined Tokyo, body horror and considerably more paperwork than most apocalypses.
