Voltage’s AmuLit Brand Ignites the Nintendo Switch with “Neon Clash -Echoes of the Lost-“
Voltage Inc. has officially launched “Neon Clash -Echoes of the Lost-” for the Nintendo Switch™ in Japan on December 11, 2025, under its consumer-oriented brand, AmuLit. This highly anticipated title, set for a global release on December 25, 2025, plunges players into a gripping “outlaw adventure” where they must “right evil with evil” amidst the dazzling, yet dangerous, neon-lit streets of a near-future city.
“Neon Clash” promises a heavy and dramatic storyline, moving beyond the typical romance narratives often found in AmuLit’s previous works. The game is brought to life through stunning and captivating illustrations and direction, crafted by a team of acclaimed creators. This dark fantasy adventure is designed to immerse players in a world teeming with conflict and complex characters.
A Tale of Survival and Vengeance in Kumyokoku
The story unfolds in Kumyokoku, a hedonistic nation bathed in neon, where survival dictates that one must constantly push others down to avoid falling to the bottom. In this cutthroat society, efforts are meaningless, and helping others is a luxury few can afford. Croa, an underground delivery girl, embodies this struggle, living day by day without choice in her life or death.
Many youths in Kumyokoku turn to the mafia for survival, engaging in endless power struggles. While these mafias are reviled by citizens, there was once a revered group: the Ryu Family. However, 11 years ago, the Ryu Family was annihilated. Now, the fate of this world hangs on the encounter between Kante Loud, the sole survivor, and Croa, the hidden successor of the Ryu Family, as the gears of destiny begin to turn once more.
