Arc System Works Co., Ltd. is proud to announce that “River City Saga: Journey to the West,” is scheduled for release on June 4, 2026.

Based on “Journey to the West”, one of the Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese literature, players take control of Kunio as either Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing, and Tang Sanzang.

Following the footsteps of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but taking a different approach, this entry of River City Saga is a solo roguelike action game.

Players grow stronger with each run and can obtain Secret Skills to apply to the character they take control of.

River City Series regulars make their appearances one after another as characters from Journey to the West, sometimes to aid Kunio’s crew, while other times becoming bosses, leading to humourous encounters that make the heart of River City!

Players start with the swift Sun Wukong, and later unlock the power-focused Zhu Bajie and the long-range Sha Wujing, granting 3 unique playstyles to mow down waves of enemies!

The newly launched official website introduces the characters present and pointers on how to play the game.
