Developed by Banana Bytes and published by Red Art Games, the latest iteration of the iconic shoot ’em up series, Psyvariar 3, is releasing in early 2026. The IP holder, SUCCESS, gave the blessing for the development of this title, and it takes place many years after the events of Psyvariar 2. The Earth colony is thriving after being reclaimed, but then an alien signal is detected, which is a dark sign. Earth is then once again under siege, and the Psyvariars have to rise up and save humanity.
Psyvariar 3 Key Features:
- Seven Playable Characters with unique shot types, buzz & bomb mechanics, and scoring systems.
- Guest character: Cotton from the Cotton series is fully playable with her own ship and abilities
- Refined Buzz System that rewards skillful bullet grazing with score boosts and shield chains
