Crunchyroll's Ani-May celebration is almost here, and it's set to be a thrilling month for fans of cult Japanese releases. Throughout May, Crunchyroll Game Vault will treat subscribers to a new game release every week, adding even more value to an already robust service.
The festivities kick off on April 30th with the highly anticipated arrival of Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth, a beloved classic from Square Enix. In this enhanced version, players will embody the spirit guardian Lenneth, embarking on a quest to recruit fallen heroes for the ultimate showdown of Ragnarok, all set within a beautifully crafted world inspired by Norse mythology.
But the excitement doesn't stop there. May's lineup includes a diverse range of titles to cater to various tastes. Horror RPG enthusiasts can dive into the cult-classic Corpse Party, while fans of slice-of-life adventures will enjoy Shin Chan: Shiro and the Coal Town. Survival horror aficionados have something to look forward to as well, with White Day making its debut on mobile.
There are a few other exciting releases not mentioned here, but you'll have to visit Crunchyroll Game Vault to discover them for yourself. While some streaming services like Netflix have faced challenges in attracting a dedicated gaming audience, Crunchyroll has successfully carved out a niche by focusing on Eastern imports that resonate with a cult-appreciating crowd.
With a library boasting over 50 releases, Crunchyroll Game Vault is on track for significant growth. So, if you're a subscriber, make sure to check out all the fantastic new games arriving this May.
