G-MODE announced on July 22, 2026, that it will release "G-MODE Archives+ Lost Chronicle" for Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam on July 23, 2026. The game is a faithful port of the original fantasy RPG that Bandai Namco Entertainment distributed as a feature phone app. It is the fourth Bandai Namco Entertainment title to be revived under the G-MODE Archives+ label, following "Xenosaga Pied Piper," "Namco Chronicle," and "Pac-Man." The story follows a protagonist exploring a world destroyed by a black flash and shrouded in dark fog, seeking the mystery of a cataclysm that occurred a thousand years ago. Players purify miasma-covered lands, accept requests from city guilds, explore fields, and advance missions to survey the land, discover new resources and technologies, and rebuild the devastated world. Characters can be customized with six attributes-Fire, Wind, Earth, Water, Dark, and Light-and multiple jobs including Fencer, Scout, Mage, and Cleric. The price is 800 yen, and the game supports Japanese language only.
