Expanding the Phantom Breaker Universe
Since its beginnings as a 2D fighting game in 2011 by 5pb / MAGES, the Phantom Breaker franchise has evolved through spin-offs and global releases. The beat ’em up spin-off Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds debuted in 2013, while Phantom Breaker: Omnia launched in 2022, featuring guest characters like Kurisu Makise from Steins;Gate.
Rocket Panda Games acquired the IP in 2022 and has since been committed to growing the franchise for a global audience. The Kaho Shibuya DLC marks another step in that effort, blending anime culture, music, and creative collaborations into the game’s vibrant world.
