Kotaro Uchikoshi’s Crash Keys Eyes Next Spring for Its Next Project Reveal
Kotaro Uchikoshi, who worked on Zero Escape and AI: The Somnium Files, told Game*Spark about his new company, Crash Keys. Founded in March 2025, the company had planned to announce itself in 2027 together with a new game, but moved the announcement up to this October after that game was canceled. When the cancellation was decided, Uchikoshi said, he spent three days and nights in bed and couldn’t bring himself to do anything. The company’s name comes from an organization in Zero Escape and is also meant to suggest writing scenarios so hard the keyboard breaks. The next project will be revealed around next spring, possibly sooner, Uchikoshi said. Alongside original games, the company also takes contract work to keep the team together. Uchikoshi remains at Too Kyo Games as well.

Beast of Reincarnation Patch Carries Gear Into New Game+
A patch has arrived for Beast of Reincarnation, the action RPG from GAME FREAK inc., the studio behind the Pokémon series. Publisher Fictions says in its patch notes that the patch marks a break point. Emma, the protagonist, can now change outfits from the bed menu and at camp, and gear, outfits, and skins carry over into New Game+. Growth boosts earned by defeating enemies now apply to the plants you grow. Guarding now requires holding the button, and bugs that blocked progression have been fixed. Fictions says it will keep accepting feedback through its support desk.
