Varlet Gets Second Japanese Trailer

Publisher FuRyu has released its second official Japanese trailer for its upcoming title Varlet. The six-minute video shows a variety of characters who appear to act as antagonists in the game, as well as highlighting a number of gameplay systems including its timeline-based combat system, special abilities, in-game conversation choices, and character bonding. The game is planned to release internationally for PC, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch on August 28, 2025.

Developed by Aquria, Varlet is written by Gakuto Mikumo (Asura Cryin’ and Strike the Blood novel series) and Ryutaro Ito (Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner, Monark). The game is set in Kousei Academy, the first school to implement a cross-reality network called Johari. The network is used for everything from finding basic information and making purchases to serving as a social networking and messaging app. However, its usage has caused students’ desire for approval and attention to increase. Soon an urban legend begins that the system’s users disappear into otherworldly “Glitches”, with monsters inhabiting the “Glitches” replacing users in the real world.
