Binged your latest anime, but your hands are still itching for more? Crunchyroll Game Vault just hit its two-year mark, and they’re not slowing down any time soon. Ever since launching in November 2023, Crunchyroll Game Vault has quietly built a name for itself as one of the best-kept secrets in subscription gaming, melding anime fandom with premium, ad-free mobile titles all under one app. From tactical JRPGs to cozy slice-of-life adventures, unlock the vault and get ready to play anytime, anywhere!
From Cult Classics to New Gems
Since its debut, Crunchyroll Game Vault has added 75 exclusive titles offering fans 500+ hours of gameplay, all free of ads and microtransactions. The catalogue features a blend of anime favourites, indie standouts and revamped classics you’d never think existed.
Titles like Classroom of the Elite ~ Merge Puzzle Special Exam ~, River City Girls, and Shin chan: Shiro and the Coal Town let players step right into the worlds they’ve streamed, while cult hits such as Crypt of the NecroDancer and Metal Slug Tactics bring refreshed gameplay designed for your modern mobile devices.
Big New Drops: Lost Hellden & Beyblade X Xone
Along with the celebration comes two major new titles set to join the vault soon:
Lost Hellden — The French-developed JRPG from Artisan Studios featuring hand-painted 3D visuals by artist Takeshi Oga (Final Fantasy XIV, Gravity Rush) and a soundtrack by Hitoshi Sakimoto (Final Fantasy Tactics). The game mixes turn-based and real-time combat for a fresh hybrid experience right in the palm of your hands!
Beyblade X Xone — Based on the Beyblade X anime, this mobile debut recreates the high-speed Beybattles fans know and love. Expect intuitive touchscreen controls, flashy effects, and plenty of nostalgia for older fans who get to yell “LET IT RIP!” one more time!
