The futuristic RPG, Mato Anomaliesfinally has its publisher thanks to PrimeMatter who has just signed an agreement with the studio Arrowiz. Announced recently, the title will take us on an investigation coated with an atmosphere borrowed from JRPGs.
Mato Anomalies, the game that has good Doe
With Genshin Impact, we have seen that Chinese studios can make ambitious games strongly inspired by those of the Japanese archipelago and especially in the artistic direction with an anime/manga style. A path taken Arrowiz for its dystopian RPG, Mato Anomalies. A quick look at the trailer below is enough to immediately make us curious.
The title will make us embody Detective Doe, a protagonist who will have to discover what is hidden behind the invasion of Mato by supernatural creatures. He will be accompanied by a mysterious exorcist named Gram. While exploring the metropolis (described as a neo-futuristic take on Old Shanghai) and solving the investigation will be an integral part of the game, it will remain a JRPG at heart with dungeons to explore and turn-based combat.
In addition to chatting with many NPCs to advance the investigation, you will be able to recruit new allies. In addition, we can apparently expect link reinforcements in a way personas.
About the agreement with Prime Matter, Horace Xiong, CEO of Arrowiz tells us this:
“We can’t wait to share the game we’ve been working on for over two years now. Our creative team imagined a deep story as well as a unique universe, that of Mato Anomalies, whose passion gave life to the design.

Mario Gerhold, Global Brand & Marketing Director at Prime Matter says:
“We are thrilled to partner with Arrowiz for this release. Mato Anomalies fits perfectly into our extensive portfolio of quality games.
