Note written 2026-08-25; the live figures above take precedence over any numbers in it.

A 2020 action RPG adaptation of the Fairy Tail anime franchise, now in quiet steady state with modest monthly residuals.

Fairy Tail sits in an interesting limbo: it's generating solid four-figure monthly residuals on a $60 price point with a 74% positive rating, yet attracts minimal new engagement and sparse recent developer communication. The core draw, licensed anime IP with established fandom, remains intact, but the game's value proposition has eroded against its own DLC pricing and age. For a publisher or revival team, this represents either a low-risk catalog hold or a targeted revival candidate if licensing terms allow seasonal content refresh or discounting strategy reset. Most realistic play: publishing.

• Risk: Fairy Tail IP held by A-1 Pictures and Hiro Mashima; publishing and platform rights via Koei Tecmo; any material changes require upstream negotiation with anime licensor.
• Risk: Player base has stabilized at low concurrent counts; substantial price-to-content gap noted in recent feedback suggests customers view the title as overvalued relative to its age and update cadence.
• Risk: Six promotions in 12 months and last discount mere weeks ago suggests aggressive clearing pressure; no recent developer posts in 20 months signals reduced post-launch support investment.
