    SONG FROM THE ABYSS — SELECTA PLAY REUNITES WITH ANIMA PROJECT FOR NEW CHAPTER IN THE FANTASY SAGA

    The Anima saga rises again. Following the warm reception of Anima: Gate of Memories I&II Remaster, Spanish publisher Selecta Play has officially announced it will partner once more with indie studio Anima Project to bring Anima: Song from the Abyss to players worldwide — a brand-new third-person action-RPG continuing the beloved Anima: Beyond Fantasy universe.

    A PARTNERSHIP REFORGED

    Selecta Play first joined forces with the three-person team at Anima Project to deliver physical editions of Gate of Memories I&II Remaster, a labour of love that rebuilt the cult-favourite duology from the ground up after the studio faced financial setbacks. Now, that alliance has deepened — Selecta Play will publish Song from the Abyss digitally and physically, releasing on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam) with a planned 2027 launch window.

    TWO HEROES, ONE FATE — THE STORY SO FAR

    Song from the Abyss casts players in dual roles, echoing the saga’s signature dual-perspective storytelling:

    • Soren — the last knight aboard an imperial zeppelin carrying a relic from a forgotten civilisation. When the crew vanishes and the ship crashes, he unwittingly breaks an ancient seal
    • Noein — a powerful, enigmatic entity freed by Soren. She offers guidance through the shifting depths of the Abyss — but only if he helps her uncover the truth behind the song that silenced her people and imprisoned her

    Together they will traverse a perilous realm born of memory and myth, where every choice echoes through the dark.

    COMBINE, CONQUER, SURVIVE

    Building on the series’ fast, fluid hack-and-slash combat, the game blends traditional tabletop RPG depth with dynamic real-time action:

    • Seamless character switching between Soren and Noein to chain combos and counter enemy strengths
    • Deep RPG progression — upgrade abilities, unlock gear, and shape how each character evolves
    • A world to explore — uncover the Abyss’s hidden corners, piece together the lost civilisation’s legacy, and confront the meaning of the song itself
    • Indie X recognition — already named among the Top 50 nominees in the Indie X showcase, signalling strong early promise

    PHYSICAL EDITIONS PLANNED — MORE DETAILS TO FOLLOW

    Just as with the Gate of Memories remaster, Selecta Play is preparing premium physical releases for consoles, giving collectors a tangible way to own the next chapter in the saga. Pricing, pre-order dates, and specific edition details will be revealed in the coming months.

    For Anima Project — a tight-knit trio rebuilding after hardship — this is more than a sequel. It’s proof that support from players and partners can turn resilience into renewal. For fans, it’s the return of a fantasy world that feels both grand and deeply personal.
