MIRESI: Invisible Future Unveils a Time-Bending Fantasy Tale

The first hands-on demo at Tokyo Game Show 2025 was published by Smilegate called MIRESI: Invisible Future. The game, which was developed by CONTROL9, heavily revolves around time travel and using future knowledge to pass through a cataclysm. The player teams up with a group of characters specializing in different kinds of magic to battle monsters in turn-based arena combat.

Beyond the combat, the MIRESI demo also included a look at the game’s narrative, with the player traveling to a more tranquil place before the catastrophe. In frenetic combat that allows players to rewind turns and events and unleash ultimate attacks, this allows the players to get to know their companions before all chaos breaks loose once more. Expected for release on PC and mobile in 2026, MIRESI: Invisible Future has a deep replayability appeal as players team up with different characters to fight for the future before it is lost forever, something its demo illustrated beautifully.

Card-Based RPG Action is a Newcomer to Chaos Zero Nightmare.

The upcoming fantasy RPG Chaos Zero Nightmare, which is optimized for mobile platforms, was the second hands-on we had. Developed by Super Creative, the game is reminiscent of the popular RPG Darkest Dungeon with its branching level progression, turn-based combat, and small party focus. The combat system, which revolves around extensively developed card-based mechanics, is where Chaos Zero Nightmare stands out and excels.

One of the most enjoyable demos we played at TGS 2025 was Chaos Zero Nightmare, which was scheduled for an Oct. 22 release on PC and mobile. The card system was engrossing and intuitive, and the accompanying animation as attacks unfolded added to the overall appeal. Chaos Zero Nightmare is ready to give fans of the dark fantasy genre a fresh perspective by offering an anime-inspired twist on games like Darkest Dungeon and Slay the Spire.

Its Newest Challenger in Street Fighter 6 Spotlights

Over two years after its launch, Street Fighter 6 still has plenty of tricks up its sleeve as Capcom’s fighting game progresses through its third season of DLC. At its TGS 2025 booth, Capcom provided a number of different Street Fighter 6-centric demos that were highly regarded by gamers. The real highlight, however, was the first playable demo of the new DLC character Crimson Viper, aside from sharing the game’s crossplay capabilities and Nintendo Switch 2 build.

Introduced in 2008’s Street Fighter IV, C. Viper hasn’t been a playable character in any Capcom title since 2011’s Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3. The shadowy figure has since been working under an alias when she’s reintroduced in Street Fighter 6‘s story mode to confront the player character, according to Capcom’s TGS presentation and demo. On October 15, Street Fighter 6 will offer a standalone purchase or a Season 3 DLC pass that includes Crime Viper.

Sega announced that the third game will finally receive its own remake after remaking the series ‘ first two games using contemporary graphical and gameplay engines. 2009’s Yakuza 3, originally released for the PlayStation 3, will be remade under the title Yakuza Kiwami 3 for the PlayStation 5 and 4, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC.

One Last Sneak Peek for Ghost of Ytei

In the final months leading up to the PlayStation 5’s launch, Ghost of Tsushima, one of the best games to end the PlayStation 4 era, was one of the best. This makes its standalone sequel Ghost of Yōtei one of the most eagerly anticipated titles of 2025, and PlayStation Studios showcased the game at TGS ahead of its Oct. 2 release. Ghost of Ytei follows new protagonist Atsu as she pursues the six samurai who nearly killed her and destroyed her family more than 300 years after the events of the first game.

At its TGS 2025 booth, PlayStation Studios highlighted a number of upcoming and new games, including Marvel Tkon: Fighting Souls, but Ghost of Ytei unquestionably had us the most excited at the event. While retaining the combat system and celebration of Japanese culture from Tsushima, Ghost of Yōtei expands on them and takes full advantage of the technical capabilities on the PS5 hardware. According to what we saw, Ghost of Ytei effectively doubles down on samurai spectacle.
