Villion: Code is set to launch on June 25 for PS5, PS4, Nintendo Switch 2, and Nintendo Switch, developed by Compile Heart with a team of veteran RPG creators.

Synthesized from 2 Yomimono stories · updated Jun 24

Compile Heart's Villion: Code is a school RPG set to release on June 25 for PS5, PS4, Nintendo Switch 2, and Nintendo Switch. The game was created by veteran RPG developers Kouji Okada, Noriyuki Sato, and Tsukasa Masuko. It takes place in a floating academy city where students investigate urban legends and fight monsters called GEM. A drug in the sprinklers causes arm mutations that give the protagonists combat abilities.

The game appeared in a weekly roundup of new releases for the week of June 22-26, 2026, which listed it alongside other titles such as Star Fox on Switch 2 and DEAD OR ALIVE 6 Last Round. The roundup confirmed the game's availability on Windows PC, Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and Xbox Series X|S, though the earlier announcement from Compile Heart only mentioned PS5, PS4, Nintendo Switch 2, and Nintendo Switch.

No further details about the game's story, gameplay mechanics, or post-launch plans have been reported beyond the initial announcement and its inclusion in the release list. The game is currently scheduled to launch in less than two weeks from the date of the most recent story.
