HELL’S PARADISE VIDEO GAME ANNOUNCED: TIME TO BATTLE YOUR WAY OUT OF JIGOKURAKU!

Get ready, fans of fire storytelling and even fiercer battles—Jump Festa ’25 just gave us the ultimate surprise! Yūji Kaku’s Hell’s Paradise: Jigokuraku is officially leveling up to a video game titled Jigokuraku: Paradise Battle! Slated for release on smartphones and PC in 2025, this free-to-play survival RPG promises all the chaos, strategy, and edge-of-your-seat action we’ve come to love. Optional purchases will be available, but let’s face it—who needs food when you’ve got in-game skins?

Cooking Heat: MAPPA, Twin Engine, and Anime Pros Join Forces

This isn’t just any adaptation—it’s practically a family reunion. MAPPA, the studio behind the anime, is providing editorial supervision, ensuring the game stays true to its roots. Twin Engine is lending its planning expertise, so you know this is going to be polished to perfection.

Even better, Akira Kindaichi (the genius behind the anime scripts) is supervising the game’s scenario. And if you loved the anime’s hauntingly beautiful soundtrack, rejoice: Yoshiaki Dewa is back, teaming up with ZENTA to deliver those mood-setting bangers. Good Smile Company is stepping in as the producer, proving that they don’t just make stunning figures—they’re here to make gaming magic, too.

Manga Roots and Anime Reach: A Global Phenomenon

Yūji Kaku’s manga might’ve ended in 2021, but its legacy is alive and kicking. The series debuted on Shonen Jump+ in January 2018, wrapped up in January 2021, and delivered 13 volumes of pure brilliance. Viz Media brought it to global audiences, releasing it digitally on Shonen Jump and MANGA Plus and in print for those who still love the smell of fresh manga pages.

And let’s not forget the anime! Season one premiered in April 2023, blessing us with jaw-dropping animation and storytelling. Available on Crunchyroll for America, Europe, and beyond, and Netflix for Asia-Pacific regions, it’s safe to say Hell’s Paradise has fans everywhere. Missed it? Don’t worry—Season 2 is dropping in January 2026 on Crunchyroll. Mark your calendars!

What We Know About Paradise Battle

If you thought surviving the world of Hell’s Paradise was brutal in print or on screen, just wait until you’re in control.

And let’s be honest—if MAPPA and Twin Engine are involved, this game isn’t just going to play well, it’s going to look incredible. Prepare to lose hours of your life, willingly.
