Seta's 1987 arcade shooter Tokushu Butai U.A.G. is set for release on five platforms via Hamster's Arcade Archives and Arcade Archives 2 lines on October 15, 2026. A separate company called Seta Engineering, established February 5, 2026, has begun an exclusive business partnership with Hanoi-based WORK STATION for engineer supply.
Coverage of Seta splits across two entities that share the name. The game side is the older one: Seta's 1987 shooting title Tokushu Butai U.A.G. was announced by Hamster on October 14, 2026, for release the next day. Hamster's two-line rollout covers PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch under Arcade Archives, and Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S under Arcade Archives 2. Both versions ship the same day, October 15, with the original arcade rules: a machine gun-equipped bike, sidecar power-ups from destroyed towers, and sidecar types that differ in bullet range and firing direction. The Arcade Archives release adds difficulty and screen settings, rewind, rapid fire, and multiple save slots. Arcade Archives 2 adds Time Attack Mode and VRR support.
The pricing structure is where the two stories about the game converge. Owners of the PS4 or Switch release can buy the Switch 2 or PS5 edition for 330 yen, tax included, against 837 yen for PS4, 838 yen for Switch, and 1,100 yen for each Arcade Archives 2 platform. A livestream, the Tokushu Butai U.A.G. Special, is scheduled from 19:00 on release day.
The third story is a different company entirely. Seta Engineering, established February 5, 2026, has begun an exclusive business partnership with Hanoi-based WORK STATION, which holds a database of over 40,000 science and engineering personnel built through partnerships with 20 major Vietnamese universities. Under the arrangement, Seta Engineering centralizes customer handling, proposals, contracts, and retention support in Japan, while WORK STATION secures and trains engineers. The stories do not link Seta Engineering to the game publisher.
