Astrolabe Games pledges PS5 physical editions for upcoming 2026‑27 titles

Astrolabe Games, a Chinese‑based independent publisher, announced on July 10 a “AGO Manifesto” committing to manufacture and distribute physical PS5 editions for all eligible titles it will publish through 2027. The pledge requires each game to have a PS5 master approved by Sony by 1 June 2027 and to be ready for sale in the second half of 2027, with at least a minimal production run in one region (Asia, North America/Europe, or the Middle East/Africa).

The company released a promotional video outlining its 2026‑27 lineup, which includes Gurei (Q4 2026), Fall Up (early 2027), OMEGA PHENEX COMMENCED PROJECT SIX (mid 2027), and several other PC and Switch titles slated for 2026‑27. An update for BlazBlue: Entropy Effect X is also scheduled for 16 July. The manifesto is presented as a goodwill effort to give developers a chance at physical releases before Sony ends disc production in January 2028.
