Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma [PC, NSW, NSW2 - June 5, 2025]
The classic action-RPG and life-simulation gameplay beloved by Rune Factory fans across the globe is boldly reimagined in Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma. This all-new adventure takes place in the never-before-seen eastern country of Azuma, where you will become an Earth Dancer and fight against the corruption spreading throughout Azuma to bring hope back to this once-prosperous land. Get hands-on with two demos — one focused on farming and village life and the other on action combat!

STORY OF SEASONS: Grand Bazaar [PC, NSW, NSW2 - Aug. 27, 2025]
Zephyr Town's bazaar was once one of the grandest in the world, drawing customers and peddlers from all four corners of the globe. These days, though, the bazaar has more tumbleweeds than visitors. It's up to you to turn its fortunes around! Raise animals, harvest crops, craft rare delicacies, then sell your wares at your very own stall in the bazaar. As the bazaar business grows, new goods and services will arrive, which you can use to improve your farm. Help return prosperity to the bazaar, and Zephyr Town will thrive once again! Play two different demos — tending to the farm and meeting villagers on a routine day or preparing for and selling goods during bazaar day!

The Big Catch [PC - 2025]
Adventure through a desert world as Caster, running errands to collect ingredients for his enigmatic employer Chef Leurre and discovering long-lost secrets along the way. Inspired by the creative 3D platformers of the 5th and 6th console generation, players will navigate a wasteland using fluid movement to flip, swim, and fight their way forward. A fisherman by trade, Caster's rod doubles as both a weapon to defend himself and a powerful tool to overcome platforming obstacles in his search for the one thing that still has value in the wasteland: FISH. Experience the platforming fun yourself in an all-new demo available for the first time at PAX East!

Moonlight Peaks [PC - 2026]
Moonlight Peaks takes place in its titular town, home to vampires, werewolves, mermaids, and other supernatural denizens who mostly come out at night—where the unnatural is the norm. As the grown-up progeny of Count Dracula, players will have to prove to their skeptical father that an (un-)life of compassion is possible, even for the undead. While players design their perfect vampire lair and learn the art of farming magical crops and witchcraft, they'll get to know the eclectic mix of human and supernatural residents that also call Moonlight Peaks home, and maybe even find their eternal love! Scare up a good time on your own supernatural farm in this hands-on demo.

NARUTO Emblem Battle [Arcade - Released]
NARUTO Emblem Battle is a collectible-based arcade game where players can experience the world of NARUTO by forming their own teams using unique physical “Emblems” that can be obtained by playing the game. Players can enjoy exciting Ninja battles on a massive 50-inch display, which features spectacular scenes of these iconic characters, complete with memorable animations, quotes, and sounds from the anime. With intuitive and accessible gameplay that combines strategy and timing with a specialized playing surface, anyone can become a splendid shinobi.
