Watch the release date announcement trailer, featuring narration by voice actor Shigeru Chiba
OCTOPinbs, a firefighting social deception game from co-developers tri-Ace, Lasengle, Inc., and publisher Aniplex, quenches hot flames on PC via Steam on Mon, May 11, 2026, as revealed during INDIE Live Expo 2026.4.25.
Check out the new trailer here, narrated by renowned voice actor Shigeru Chiba.
Slip on the firefighting gear, grab a water hose, and rush to put out blazing buildings before everything burns to ash. Team up with three to ten Octopus firefighters to extinguish the furious flames.
Fire emergencies require vigilance and sharp eyes, as there are not only approaching flames, but hidden amongst the crew are sneaky Squid Artists aiming to fuel the fire. Suss out the pesky Artists blending in with the team before it’s too late, as their goal is to do ANYTHING to wreak havoc and max out the fire gauge. Catch the crisis on scene and send them to the Octojar to reveal their true form!
As the stealthy Artist, sabotage the firefighters’ emergency response plans without being exposed. Ditch the disguise for a quick boost in mobility to turn the burning stage into a blistering warzone.
Set everything ablaze, heat up the fire gauge, and swap between faux-firefighter and full blown squid to unleash fiery mayhem. Regardless of the cost, reduce all firefighters’ HP to zero, prevent them from extinguishing the flames, or else lose the whole game!
“Since first revealing OCTOPinbs, the team has joyfully read fans’ excitement to call each other’s blazing bluffs,” said Aniplex. “We hope you look forward to fighting fires as OCTOs and sowing chaos as the trickster Pinbs (that’s Squid upside down and backwards, because even their names can’t be trusted!) next month.”
OCTOPinbs will be available on Mon, May 11, 2026 on PC via Steam for $9.99 USD, with language support in Japanese, English, Simplified Chinese, Portuguese, German, Korean, Spanish, and French.
