Yokohama, Japan – March 6th 2026 – Arc System Works is pleased to announce its newest game: a gorilla-multiplying card game Goritaire, with a release date planned on March 19th, 2026. The official store pages are open starting today.

Arc System Works also announces a collaboration with Go! Go! Curry!, the famous restaurant chain originating from Kanazawa City in Japan, that serves “Kanazawa Curry” nationwide and overseas. Their official mascot, “Goriko,” will make a special appearance in the game as a card!

About Goritaire

Where did gorillas come from? What are gorillas? Where are gorillas going? A single-player game all about gorillas… That is Goritaire! Fill the jungle with gorillas!

Grow your troop and expand the gorillas’ habitat while ensuring you don’t run out of bananas. To secure victory, 7 or more gorillas must be on the ground. However, if even a single gorilla goes without a banana, it spells instant defeat and the total collapse of your troop.
