The story so far
What we know about Lost Hellden
Lost Hellden is an action JRPG from Artisan Studios, published by Kwalee. It was announced in February 2024 and is built around a hand-painted 3D look with illustrations by Takeshi Oga (Gravity Rush) and a soundtrack by Hitoshi Sakimoto (Final Fantasy XII, Valkyria Chronicles). The story follows eight customisable characters across the world of Era, with the PlayStation Store describing twin protagonists Cyphel, born without sin, and Leht, bound to all seven deadly sins, in a world governed by the religion of Unio.
Combat is a phased system that mixes real-time action with turn-based tactics. Steam lists eight playable characters with their own abilities and skill trees, 21 job classes, elemental abilities and summons, dynamic weather that affects play, and a Hexaken tactical card game minigame. The game is fully voiced in Japanese and English and supports 11 languages in total.
Lost Hellden is planned for 2026 on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch, with a mobile version coming to Crunchyroll Game Vault. No exact release date has been announced, so this page will be updated once one is confirmed.
