Jarcorp Interactive has revealed a new RPG titled Amphibian at the 2026 Future Games Show. This game will be available worldwide on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam in 2028.
This frog-themed RPG will notably have a lack of grindable content, as it does not have any shops, currencies, or random encounters. Players will instead have to carefully manage resources and upgrades as they progress through the game's story.

Amphibian, a somber, story-driven, frog-based, Super2D RPG for fans of classic console adventures from JARCORP Interactive, tells a tale of a family, sacrifice, and generation violence in a world of bipedal, talking frogs and toads in 2028 for PC for Steam, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
A countrywide drought forces Sapo and his frog allies into war against the invading toads. As dehydration and starvation grip The Pond, they must hurry to find a solution to the crisis - and liberate their homeland. Dive into a focused, concise experience with fully curated battles and no random encounters, inspired by classic, turn-based RPGs from the era of GameCube and Game Boy Advance.
The campaign progresses forward with intentionally limited side content, to create an experience with no filler, where every encounter and system serves the story. Shops and currency don’t exist in this world, and the lack of random encounters means no way to grind levels. The path forward requires managing health and resources in battle intelligently, with the difficulty striking a balance between mistakes having consequences, without feeling unfair or punishing.
Fight with a party of four in turn-based battles against all manner of beasts and frog predators, as well as other deadly amphibians. Develop each hero through a branching class system that makes no two builds the same, and enables a wide variety of play styles and party compositions. Between battles, explore the expansive, detailed world of frogs and toads with light 2D platforming and puzzles to solve, inspired by old-school survival horror games.
Amphibian combines classic 2D pixel art with modern visual effects and perspective for a “Super2D” visual style. GRAMMY-winning producer Shireen Ghosh (Sword of the Sea, Towerborne) leads the game’s sound design, while Amphibian’s creative director and frontman of the band Western Education, Greg Alexandropoulos, provides an original, rock-driven original soundtrack for the game.
“The guiding principle of Amphibian is the synthesis of intentionality and purpose. Where every aspect of the gameplay matters. ” said Co-Creators Greg Alexandropoulos & James Roumeliotis, co-founders of JARCORP Interactive, “We're making Amphibian for RPG fans who want an emotional, impactful experience, weaved into a concise, hard-hitting, turn-based adventure.”
