Release Announcement, MV, and Key Visual
Port Masters Returns to Babel Through a New Parallel World
The story takes place on Babel Continent within one of the timelines created after history split into countless parallel worlds. Amid conflicts between nations, unstable Sacred Stones and the threat of Sinful Beasts, an outsider forms a contract with Ouroboros.
That contract allows the player to awaken the souls of Phantom Soldiers from the past. Familiar characters from The Alchemist Code return, but Port Masters tells another story within Babel rather than simply continuing the old game in the same format.
Five Main Units and Two Tactical Units Shape Each Build
Port Masters uses five main units that directly enter battle alongside two tactical units capable of influencing the fight.
Weapons, tactics, buffs, debuffs, cooperative effects and skill activation order also contribute to team construction. The system is packaged into fast portrait-oriented battles designed to fit shorter mobile play sessions.
Port Battles Bring Together Up to 10 Members
The multiplayer system that gives the game its name is Port Battle. Groups of up to 10 members can participate in real-time conflicts where role assignment and coordination matter.
Each role can also use a Force Skill capable of affecting the state of battle. Chat and stamps provide tools for players to coordinate with fellow Port members.
“Dare ga Tame ni” Returns in a New MV
Ahead of launch, “Dare ga Tame ni” has returned through an official Port Masters music video. The track is performed by Agatha, voiced by Yoko Hikasa, with music composed by Yoko Shimomura.
The MV reconnects the musical identity of The Alchemist Code with the new game and serves as one of its major official video releases ahead of launch.
Why This Matters
1) The old world returns without simply rebuilding the previous game
Babel and its characters remain, while Port Masters introduces a different battle structure and parallel-world story.
2) Battles are designed around faster mobile sessions
Portrait orientation, high-speed combat and a compact formation reflect a more streamlined approach.
3) Port Battle expands the multiplayer layer
Personal team building meets group strategy when players coordinate with other Port members in real time.
