We got the first publishing self-promoting its future game launch in an already prematurely started E3-less E3 season and this is the recap of everything presented in the more or less 30 mins show.
Presented games includes:
- Loop8: Summer of Gods (June 6, 2023)
Loop8: Summer of Gods follows protagonist Nini and his classmates as they try to defeat the Kegai, demonic entities who have forced humanity to the brink of extinction. Raised on a failed space station known as “Hope,” Nini returns to Earth to spend his summer in Ashihara, one of humanity’s last remaining sanctuaries.
Gifted with “Demon Sight,” Nini can use his special connection to the gods to reset the world, with each loop allowing him and his allies to relive the 8th month over and over until they get it right…or the Kegai overwhelm them entirely.
It will be released for Playstation 4, Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam - Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life (June 27, 2023)
STORY OF SEASONS: A Wonderful Life revisits the tranquil community of Forgotten Valley where the protagonist fulfills their father’s dream of running a farm.
As the seasons go by, players will find their lifelong partner, raise a child together, and watch them grow up. Will their child carry on the family’s farm legacy or find their calling somewhere else? Only time will tell…
It will be released for Playstation 5, Xbox Series S/X and PC via Steam. - Rune Factory 3 Special (September 5, 2023)
This is a remaster of the Nintendo DS game.
Bridge the divide of an ancient schism between humans and monsters in Rune Factory 3 Special as half-human, half-wooly protagonist Micah. Farm, fight and fall in love as you revisit a classic in the series that perfected the blend of RPG & Life-sim genres.
This game will be released only for Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam. - Fashion Dreamer

Aim for a Nintendo Switch release this year. - Project Magia
Marvelous has announced Project Magia, a new project featuring character designs by Fairy Tail and EDENS ZERO manga artist Hiro Mashima.
Platforms were not announced. - Project Life is RPG
Marvelous announced Project Life Is RPG, an extremely Japanese name that is simultaneously extremely descriptive. It is the start of a new IP inspired by influential Japanese RPGs, and the game aims to emphasize all the aspects of life that can feel like the components of an RPG. - Story of Seasons (Untitled)
- A Story of Seasons (Untitled, but co-op)
- Rune Factory: Project Dragon
Project Dragon seems to be the one further along in development, as Marvelous offered the first footage of this Rune Factory game.
The game is going with a Japanese-styled world as players will explore the “Land of the East” for the very first time. And it looks like they’ll be able to do it while riding Tatsu dragons. - Rune Factory 6
XSEED Games confirmed that Rune Factory 6 is in development and will feature a traditional western-fantasy setting on the continent of Adonea. I can only hope the end product is a few ticks above what we got with Rune Factory 5. - Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion
Daemon X Machina gains a sequel with not many details shared despite a look on the mecha that will be controlling.
Of course, it won’t be surprising if this ends being a time-exclusively for Nintendo Switch like its predecessor, judging on how major games are getting Nintendo Switch releases, regardless of whether it's coming with current-gen gaming or not.
