Psalm 9: Rogue-lite Strategy Game Release & Post-Game Update

The Roguelite gem strategy combat game “Anthem #9” will be officially released on February 5, 2026. In this game, players need to use strategies flexibly to get more combos to deal higher damage. After the official public clears the levels simultaneously, high-difficulty levels will be unlocked, and hardcore players can challenge it to their heart’s content!

This game is a gem strategy Roguelite game with a strong and gorgeous visual style. It combines strategy with card skills, blessing construction and other elements. In the game, players need to combine gems of three colors within a limited time in each round to activate skills. The more combos, the higher the damage.

With the announcement of the release date, the official also announced that after players complete the normal mode, they can unlock the high-difficulty challenge “Extra Mission”, and there is still something to play even after beating the level! There will be stronger enemies in “Extra Mission”, and various restrictions will be added to greatly increase the difficulty of passing the level.

“Ninth Psalm” was developed by Japanese independent game developer koeda. Although he had no relevant industry experience and was not an engineer, he still jumped into development without hesitation when he was in his 30s with an introductory book. The first work “Ninth Psalm” won the Grand Prize in the “Shueisha Game Creator CAMP GAME BBQ vol.2 No Demo” category.

If you are interested in the development process of this game, a symposium with developer koeda will be held on the official Discord server of “Ninth Hymn” at 20:00 Japan time on January 30, 2026. It will be held in a simultaneous live broadcast in Japanese/English. You can expect the developer to share development secrets and answer questions from players.
