Armed Fantasia Discontinued by Digital Bros After Kickstarter Success

Digital Bros, the parent company of publisher 505 Games, has officially discontinued development of Armed Fantasia. The studio Wild Bunch Productions was developing this Western-punk RPG as a spiritual successor to the Wild Arms series. The cancellation was announced in the company’s financial results for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026.

The decision followed multiple gameplay revision attempts and a thorough review of each product's progress, market potential, and funding needs. This move also included the cancellations of Directorate: Novitiate and a Battle Island sequel. The company reported significant non-cash asset impairment charges related to these halted projects.

Originally funded through a successful 2022 crowdfunding campaign alongside Penny Blood, Armed Fantasia had been postponed indefinitely prior to this final cancellation. While the developer continues to post updates, no further information exists regarding whether the project will be revived or abandoned entirely.

Siliconera reported on September 25 that the Wild Arms spiritual successor, Armed Fantasia, has been cancelled.
