The Spy X Family franchise will receive its first video game installment next year.
Last year, the animated comedy from Wit Studios and Cloverworks skyrocketed to the top of popular anime charts across Japan and beyond. As detailed in Nintendo’s latest Live Presentation (starting at minute 7:20), the franchise is currently getting a spin-off game for the Nintendo Switch titled: Spy X Anya: Operation Memories. This life simulator allows players to take on the role of Anya Forger and experience her life both at home and as a student at Eden Academy. Tasked with completing a photo diary, players must complete school activities on weekdays, while weekends are reserved for quality time with Loid, Yor and Bond. Direct recommends a number of different places families can visit, including beaches, museums and aquariums. The game is expected to be released sometime next year.
Spy X Family was originally a manga written and illustrated by Tatsuya Endo. First published in March 2019, the series introduced readers to a master spy known as Agent Twilight, who abandoned his past life and identity to devote himself to Defend your homeland, Westalis. In an effort to prevent war with a rival nation called Ostania, Agent Twilight takes on a unique mission; to adopt a daughter who can infiltrate the prestigious Eden Academy and pave Twilight’s way to the elusive Prime Minister of Ostania, Donovan Desmond.
Unbeknownst to him, his cheerful adopted daughter Anya also happens to be an empath who can read his every thought. Hoping to bolster his public image as a loving family man, Twilight also takes a wife named Yor, who turns out to be a hired assassin. While helping Twilight on her mission, the three begin to let go of the facade and form a true family bond.
Spy X Family fans have a lot to look forward to. In addition to the upcoming video game, there is also a new animated movie coming out called Spy X Family: Code: White. As shown in the first trailer, this film’s story begins when Anya decides to make her principal’s favorite dessert, an achievement that wins her a much-needed Stella Award. While on vacation in the place where the dessert originated, Anya discovers mysterious chocolate inside a chest and eats it. A simple action has the potential to have catastrophic consequences for the world. The film is expected to debut in Japanese theaters on December 22, but there is no international release date yet. Spy X Family Season 2 is also in the works and is scheduled to premiere on October 7.
