Crunchyroll Game Vault celebrates two years of niche anime releases

Crunchyroll Game Vault marks two years of gaming excellence

The streaming platform’s dedicated gaming subscription service celebrates two years of delivering exclusive titles to fans worldwide.

Two new arrivals have been officially confirmed: Lost Hellden and Beyblade X Xone.

Now entering its third year, Crunchyroll Game Vault has emerged as a standout in the subscription gaming landscape. With a growing library of premium releases from Japan—featuring both major studio hits and niche indie gems—the service continues to win over players across the globe.

For newcomers, Crunchyroll Game Vault goes beyond bringing Japan-exclusive mobile games to Western audiences. It also delivers original releases never before available on global platforms. A prime example is the platform’s exclusive mobile adaptation of Shogun Showdown, which recently earned a nomination in the Pocket Gamer People’s Choice Awards.

Interestingly, the first of the two new releases is a French-developed JRPG! Lost Hellden features handcrafted 3D artwork by renowned illustrator Takeshi Oga and a powerful soundtrack composed by Hitoshi Sakimoto. The game will launch on PC, consoles, and mobile—powered by Crunchyroll Game Vault.

Let it rip!

The second release, Beyblade X Xone, brings a familiar name to the table. Based on the popular anime series available on Crunchyroll, this action-packed title delivers the same high-octane battles that once made the toy line controversial in schoolyards.

Though the announcement is understated, it’s well-earned. Over the past few years, Crunchyroll Game Vault has consistently delivered compelling mobile experiences. With more exciting titles on the way, anticipation is at an all-time high.
