Love Eternal, a 2D action game developed by brlka and published by Ysbryd Games, launched on Steam in February 2026 and later on consoles without Japanese language support. The game features gravity reversal mechanics, over 100 stages, and hand-drawn pixel art. It has earned a 'Very Positive' rating on Steam.

In an interview at BitSummit PUNCH, Ysbryd Games founder Brian Kwek and production lead Rob Cocks detailed the publisher's behind-the-scenes work on the title, including visa support, hiring a detective to sell games, and bridging gaps between developers and services like localization and porting. The interview highlighted the less visible labor of indie publishing that can make or break a niche title.

PLAYISM announced the Japanese version of Love Eternal will launch on July 16 for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam. A 20% off sale will run from launch day. The Japanese release brings the game to console audiences with full localization, expanding its reach beyond the initial PC launch.
