Wazen, a former Devil May Cry developer whose first solo project Assault Spy holds a “Very Positive” rating on Steam, announced via X that his next title MIGHTREYA will be delayed to 2026. While there are no issues with the direction of the game, Wazen attributes the delay to “an overwhelming amount to build.”
This announcement comes right after MIGHTREYA’s second playtest, which was held for two weeks during September and implemented improvements based on feedback from the first playtest back in June/July. While the playtests weren’t without occasional bugs, glitches, and other issues, Wazen’s quick response and transparency with both the playtests and communication have been much appreciated by players.
Inspired by Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner and the Devil May Cry games, MIGHTREYA follows the story of schoolgirl superhero Reya and her manager, Rio, as they fight monsters from another dimension. Reya does most of the fighting through simple, intuitive controls that allow her to fly, dash, and perform combos with ease. The game is planned to have three weapons with over 30 unique actions and attacks at launch. You’ll be using these weapons across 38 levels to fight 24 enemy types, which include unique bosses.
By the time MIGHTREYA is released in 2026, it will have been nearly four years in development. Talking to AUTOMATON WEST in a 2024 interview, Wazen said he expects the pace of development to pick up during the second half, as most elements will have been finished and incorporated into the game.
MIGHTREYA is scheduled to launch in 2026 for PC (Steam).
