Gachiakuta: BREAKOUT is the official title of the game previously known simply as GACHIAKUTA: The Game. During the Xbox Tokyo Game Show 2026 broadcast, Com2uS dropped a fresh gameplay trailer and slated the release for 2027 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam.
The name change and 2027 launch window deliver a clear message from TGS: the action survival RPG based on Kei Urana's manga (featuring graffiti art by Hideyoshi Ando) and the Bones Film anime is still heavily in development, but it won't hit shelves this year.

What Happened?
During the Xbox showcase at TGS 2026, Com2uS debuted gameplay footage for Gachiakuta: BREAKOUT. Outlets like Gematsu, Anime News Network, and GAME Watch highlighted the close-quarters combat, vibrant cel-shaded visuals, and a snippet of the battle against Jabber, showcasing massive claws and a much more cinematic flair than March's character teasers.
Confirmed platforms include PS5, Xbox Series, and Steam. No exact release date or Switch 2 announcement was made during this presentation.
What Kind of Game Is This?
BREAKOUT is a real-time action RPG that brings the anime's gritty world to life in 3D. Players step into the shoes of Rudo, who has been falsely accused and cast down into the Ground, where trash from the floating sphere transforms into monsters and weapons.
In the game, the Cleaners' power—extracting the "soul" of discarded objects to turn them into Vital Instruments—forms the core of the combat system. The Steam page outlines missions across polluted zones and No Man's Land, item gathering for character progression, Cleaner base customization, HQ interactions, real-time co-op, and hidden graffiti scattered across the map.
Trailers focusing on Rudo, Enjin (using the Umbreaker umbrella), Riyo (wielding The Ripper scissors), and Zanka (with his Lovely Assistaff staff) were previously released. The TGS video expands on this by featuring a full boss battle and mission pacing, rather than just a combo showcase.
What Does This Mean?
Two key takeaways matter for anime fans keeping tabs on the project. First: this isn't just another disguised mobile game. Com2uS, traditionally known for mobile hits, is positioning this as a high-end console and PC experience, with wishlists now live on Steam. Second: 2027 is a launch window, not a locked-in release date. Anyone hoping to play Gachiakuta: BREAKOUT before the end of 2026 will need to recalibrate their expectations.
The tone remains faithful to the manga and anime: social inequality, trash as both destiny and superpower, and stylized, visceral action. If the combat and co-op deliver on the trailer's promise, the title joins the heavy-hitting lineup of 2027 anime games, following the TGS momentum that previously brought Geekiki news of the record-breaking expo opening and other major adaptations.
In Practice
You can wishlist the game on Steam right now. No pricing, collector's editions, or hands-on TGS demos have been confirmed yet. The next major milestone to watch for is whether Com2uS drops a playable build later this TGS or holds it for a future showcase.
