Chronoscript: The Endless End takes place in the year 2026, and revolves around an editor taking on a strange request after having wrapped up work on a long-running series. While heading to a manor in a remote mountain, the editor gets bitten by a mosquito, which knocks him out. On waking up, the protagonist finds himself stuck in the pages of a manuscript with an endless story.

The player, in the role of the editor, helps the writer – who has lived for a thousand years – write their story and must ultimately help the writer find the ending. The visual style in Chronoscript: The Endless End features a mix of 3D and 2D. While the mansion itself is 3D, there are also 2D illustrated worlds that players will get to explore within the pages they find in the mansion.

Chronoscript: The Endless End is coming to PS5 and PC in 2026.

It seems the company does not want to stop there, as Shueisha has officially announced that they will be dipping their toes in game publishing, with the introduction of Shueisha Games. The new division is an extension of the game development initiatives overseen by the Shueisha Game Creators CAMP.

Apart from supporting game developers, the publishing house aims to encourage collaborations between developers and relevant media such as creators of manga, novelists, screenwriters, and more, and let them create original works.

As of now, 4000 developers have registered with the Game Creator CAMP and the number of games being supported has passed 10, which includes unannounced ones, and large-scale games are already in development. The first of them is a mobile game developed by a major non-Japanese studio, with character design being taken care of by a major mangaka that publishes their work in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine.

Finally, the company revealed the first four titles that will be released under the publishing house: Oni by Kenei Design, Ukiyo by Seaknot Studios, The Tower of Children by Tasto Alpha, and Captain Velvet Meteor: The Jump+ Dimensions by Momo-pi Studio.
