What is happening now

Yami Kids is a dark-themed monster-taming RPG from Yanako RPGs combining creature collection with strategic turn-based combat. The indie title draws on familiar monster-battling mechanics while emphasizing a grimmer aesthetic than typical entries in the genre. The game was slated for a September 2026 PC release and made an appearance at Tokyo Game Show 2026, where it was made available for hands-on play. Beyond that showcase opportunity, coverage has remained limited, though the developer's decision to present the game at a major industry event suggests confidence in its market positioning heading into launch.
