Showa American Story

Showa American Story is an action-adventure RPG set in an alternate history where Japan's economic dominance reshaped America, now overrun by zombies. Developed by NEKCOM Entertainment and published by 4Divinity, the game follows a resurrected stuntwoman wielding unconventional weapons like a drill arm as she navigates this surreal landscape.

The game made a strong impression at Gamescom 2026, where its new trailer distinguished it from the show's typical lineup. Hands-on coverage praised its deliberately absurd tone - raunchy, bloody, and darkly comedic - with a dense layer of cultural parodies woven throughout. However, early assessments note the game embraces a deliberate roughness in its presentation that contrasts with modern AAA polish, positioning its niche aesthetic and B-movie sensibility as both its defining appeal and potential barrier to broader audiences. The game arrives on PC and PlayStation 5 on December 31, 2026.
