DIGITAL CHOP, a mobile game studio in Japan, has opened pre-orders on the App Store and pre-registration on Google Play for SHINOBREAK, a Japanese fantasy idle RPG for iOS and Android. The game is planned to launch on Thursday, December 17, 2026 (JST).

■ About SHINOBREAK
In the island nation of Hinomoto, you command Shinobi, a covert force serving the government, and lead a squad of kunoichi (female ninja). A top-secret mission brings you face to face with a dragon that can speak. You are ordered to kill it, but the dragon only wants to live in peace, and your squad must choose between orders and the dragon's wish. It is the story of ninja who stop living as pawns of their nation and begin acting on their own convictions. Your squad keeps growing and rewards keep piling up even while the app is closed, in a portrait-mode idle RPG made for short play sessions.

■ Key Features
1. A story about a dragon that can speak
   Told with Japanese character voices. The prologue opens in full-color manga.
2. Choose your first partner
   Start with one of three kunoichi: Kurenai (fire), Shizuku (water), or Hayate (wind).
3. Idle progression and auto battles
   Your squad grows and rewards collect in a treasure chest while the app is closed.
4. Scout a squad of your own
   Recruit kunoichi through scouting (gacha) across SR, SSR, and UR rarities, with alternate costumes and ultimate-skill cut-ins.
5. Dragon summons, raids, and ranked battles
   Form pacts with dragons and summon them into battle, take on raid bosses, and climb the ranked player battles.
A clean, translucent white holographic interface frames pixel-art characters running through 3D Japanese-inspired environments in a 2.5D presentation.
