Arc System Works Asia has officially locked in March 26, 2026, as the release date for their top-down gun action-adventure title, Damon & Baby. The game is set to launch on Nintendo Switch, PS5, PS4, and Steam.

The narrative follows Damon, a demon lord who finds himself in a bit of a pickle while trying to honour a promise to a late friend. After his friend departed for heaven without paying the promised 'soul fee,' Damon was hit with a curse that stripped away his demonic powers and forced him to remain within a certain proximity of a mysterious infant he inherited. Stuck with a kid and a curse, his journey begins.

As you traverse toward heaven, you will be swarmed by relentless demons and joined by a motley crew of oddballs: Tinatana, an angel; Hannemann, a vampire who can shapeshift into a bat; and Manjumaru, a samurai who has somehow become a goose. Interestingly, the character designs are handled by Daisuke Ishiwatari, the general director of the Guilty Gear series, and you might even spot some familiar faces from the Guilty Gear and BlazBlue franchises.

At its core, the gameplay is classic run-and-gun action focused on movement, jumping, and shooting. However, it introduces a unique 'Baby Jump' system. You launch the child forward and then warp to their position, allowing for evasive manoeuvres and vertical traversal. It is a smart way to zip across large maps, and you can unlock new actions via growth skills as you explore further.
