Crunchyroll today announced which games it’s adding to its Game Vault this summer. The games –15 in total — range in genre from RPGs to beat-em-ups to horror, and all of them launch either in summer or later this fall. Several of the games in question are either anime-inspired visual novels or adaptations of anime series. As with all games in Crunchyroll’s Game Vault, they’re available to those with a Mega or Ultimate Fan subscription.
Three of the games launch on Crunchyroll today: Turn-based RPG Battle Chasers: Nightwar, creature beat-em-up Dawn of the Monsters and puzzle-platformer Evan’s Remains. All of the titles are available to play via the App Store, Google Play or Crunchyroll itself. The other games coming to Crunchyroll within the next few months are (titles marked with an asterisk are making their mobile debut):

Crunchyroll first launched its Game Vault late last year, and at present it has fourteen games. The company’s Crunchyroll Games label has also published free-to-play games, such as One Punch Man: World and Street Fighter: Duel.
Terry Li, Crunchyroll’s EVP of emerging business, said in a statement, “Bringing visual novels to Crunchyroll’s game lineup is another example of how we super-serve our fans with entertainment that deepens their love of anime. Like manga, visual novels are a source material for hit anime and often expand on beloved series. It is important to offer that content to our audience as part of their membership.”
