- Aniplex has not announced a PS5 version.
- The article questions the gap between Sony’s publishing and console businesses.

## Summary

Sony-owned publisher Aniplex plans to release the dark fantasy visual novel LunaVerse on Nintendo Switch and PC next year, with no PS5 version announced. It is another instance of the company publishing games that bypass Sony’s own console, raising questions about how its subsidiaries’ releases fit with the wider PlayStation business.

Aniplex operates under Sony Music and has been releasing more games in recent years. The article points to The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy, a critically praised Switch and PC title that Aniplex reportedly helped fund, as a recent example. It notes that visual novels may suit portable play better, while arguing that the popularity of the PS Portal could make them more appealing on PS5.
