God Eater Game Series Reaches Its 15th Anniversary

The God Eater series of hunting action games has reached its 15th anniversary on February 4, 2025. The games’ publisher Bandai Namco celebrated the occasion by tweeting a new illustration on the series’ official Japanese X account.

The illustration features two key characters from each of the three mainline God Eater entries released as of 2025. They are Soma Schicksal and Alisa Illinichna Amiella from the first God Eater, Julius Visconti and Ciel Alencon from God Eater 2, and Hugo Pennywort and Claire Victorious from God Eater 3. In an addendum to the tweet, Bandai Namco announced that it will produce and sell new merchandise based on the new illustrations.

Key staff members of the God Eater series, such as Yusuke Tomizawa and Hiroshi Yoshimura, have also tweeted celebrations for the 15th anniversary milestone on their respective X accounts. Bandai Namco has since appointed Tomizawa to take charge of the Tales Of series, while Yoshimura is still primarily credited as the general director of God Eater.

Bandai Namco originally planned to hold multiple major events in 2020 when the God Eater series reached its 10th anniversary. However, it canceled all of them due to the global lockdowns caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Since then, the company celebrated subsequent anniversaries in a more subtle way by opening temporary merchandise stores. In addition, the company has not released a new game for the series since God Eater 3 came out in Japan in December 2018 and worldwide in February 2019.

The first God Eater title appeared on the PlayStation Portable in Japan on February 4, 2010. All three enhanced mainline entries—God Eater Resurrection, God Eater 2 Rage Burst, and God Eater 3—are playable on PlayStation 4 and PC. The first two entries also came out on the PlayStation Vita, while God Eater 3 is additionally available on Nintendo Switch.
