Rocket Panda Games Acquires Phantom Breaker IP; New Directions for the IP are Being Explored

Rocket Panda Games announced they have acquired the Phantom Break IP from developer Mages, which includes the 2D fighting game series, Phantom Break: Battle Grouds.

“Today marks the beginning of a new chapter in the Phantom Breaker franchise, and we couldn’t be more thrilled,” says M. Panda. “We go way back with SakariP (Producer) and have a great relationship with MAGES., and we’re super happy to carry on the torch for the series. The team’s got some great stuff in store that we can’t wait to share with everyone in due time.”

The developer plans to expand the series created by Mages with designs by Hiro Suzuhira and music by Takeshi Abo, and deliver new titles to fans. Recently revitalized with the launch of Phantom Breaker: Omnia, Rocket Panda Games is “excited to further explore new directions for the IP and is committed to maximizing the series’ potential for fans around the world.”

Phantom Breaker: Omnia will be the first entry in the series to release in the west since 2013 and includes all of the characters and guest characters from Phantom Breaker: Extra along with two brand new characters. The game has three different fighting styles, Quick, Hard, and Omnia, which change the character’s speed, power, and mechanics.

Phantom Breaker: Omnia is available now on PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PC via Steam.
