NISA has announced STARBITES, a new RPG developed in partnership with IKINAGAMES, set to launch in early 2026 for Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam. The game is also launching on Xbox, but seemingly by a different publisher.

A new trailer was released showcasing the game's setting, characters, and turn-based combat system.

Set on the war-scarred desert planet of Bitter, STARBITES follows Lukida, a young salvager who dreams of escaping to the stars. Her plans are derailed when a towering robot ambushes her, sparking a chain of events that tie her to the fate of the planet. Players will traverse Bitter aboard customizable "Motorbots," exploring vast wastelands while assembling a party and engaging in turn-based battles.

Combat is built around approachable mechanics with depth for those seeking more tactical engagement. Party members can be equipped with unique gear and enhancements, while Motorbots can also be upgraded for both travel and battle. A mystery tied to a conflict that occurred 45 years prior serves as the backdrop to Lukida's journey.
