Chongqing-basedโ team IceSitruuna has announced Parasite Mutant for PS5, a science-fiction โฃhorror โRPG heavily inspired by Square Enix’s classic PlayStationโ title, Parasite Eve. the game is currentlyโฃ slated for โrelease in 2026.
While fans continue to hope forโฃ a revivalโ of the Parasite Eve franchise from โSquare Enixโ itself, Parasite Mutant โ aims to captureโ the spirit of the original with a modern โtake. โคThe game centers โขon psionic agent Nova, dispatched to โฃa desolate islandโค city overrun with monstrous creatures, where she will confront aโ fate-altering mission.
IceSitruuna describes Parasite Mutant as featuring an “Active Timeโ Chains” battleโฃ system,โข a direct homage to Parasite Eve’s Activeโค Timeโฃ Bar.

Additionalโ features include a “semi-realistic” anime art style with an optional CRT filter for a retro aesthetic, unlockable outfits, and Newโฃ Game + support.
The proclamation arrives asโ fans mark โขoverโ two decades sence theโ release โฃof Parasite Eve II and continue โคto call โforโฃ a continuation of aya Brea’s story. Parasite Mutant โคoffers a promising alternativeโฃ for thoseโค seeking a similar experience on the PS5.
