River City Saga: Journey to the West now has a release date: June 3, 2026 on Steam and June 4, 2026 on PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch. The price is set at $19.99 / 2,970 yen. The game is developed by Arc System Works and UnitePlus, with Arc System Works also handling publishing.
It is a roguelike action game built around repeat runs and gradual power growth. Confirmed details include 80 Secret Skills that can be picked up during progress, plus three distinct fighting styles tied to Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing. The story sends the cast toward Tianzhu, with familiar River City characters folded into the Journey to the West setup.
Language support includes English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.
The trailer also makes the setup clearer: Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing, and Tang Sanzang are all reworked as Kunio versions, turning the Journey to the West premise into a River City crossover. The structure remains focused on run-based progression, character-specific combat styles, and the 80 Secret Skills that can reshape each attempt.
