Arknights: Endfield, a highly anticipated 2025 release, serves as a sequel to the popular mobile tower defense game, Arknights. While familiarity with the original enhances lore understanding, newcomers can readily jump in. While a precise release date remains unannounced, a 2025 launch is likely, following positive player feedback from a January 2025 Beta Test. Players assume the role of Endministrator, recruiting new team members via the gacha system. Early reports suggest a generous F2P model, minimizing concerns about acquiring high-quality weapons. Gameplay extends beyond combat to include base building and resource management for character and weapon upgrades. The game's narrative unfolds on Talos-II, where players aid humanity's survival against the "Erosion" phenomenon.
Persona 5: The Phantom X

Another major 2025 gacha contender is Persona 5: The Phantom X, a Persona 5 spin-off. Departing from Joker's story, players embark on a new adventure with a fresh cast of characters in Tokyo. Gameplay mirrors the original, incorporating stat-building, relationship development, Metaverse exploration, and Shadow combat. The gacha system facilitates ally recruitment, with the possibility of even recruiting the original protagonist.
Ananta

Ananta (formerly Project Mugen), a NetEase-published Chinese title from Naked Rain, is another significant 2025 release. While visually reminiscent of Genshin Impact, Ananta distinguishes itself with its urban setting and parkour mechanics. Players explore diverse cities, such as Nova Inception Urbs (Japanese-inspired), utilizing parkour, grappling hooks, and unique Esper abilities to combat Chaos as the Infinite Trigger.
Azur Promilia

From Azur Lane developer Manjuu comes Azur Promilia, an open-world fantasy RPG. In addition to character collection, players engage in farming, mining, and creature companionship (Kibo), which aid in combat, act as mounts, and assist with resource gathering. Details about the story remain limited, but the player character, Starborn, embarks on a quest to unravel the land's mysteries and vanquish evil forces. It's worth noting that the game may feature only female playable characters.
Neverness to Everness

Neverness to Everness joins the ranks of anticipated 2025 gacha releases, sharing a similar urban setting with Ananta. Combat mechanics bear resemblance to Genshin Impact and Wuthering Waves, with four-character teams and real-time single-unit control. The game's unique mystical horror elements introduce paranormal encounters and challenging dungeon experiences. Exploration involves both on-foot traversal and vehicle use (cars, motorcycles), with vehicle maintenance and item selling adding depth to the gameplay.
This overview covers the most promising 2025 gacha game releases. Remember to manage your spending responsibly.
