A collaboration tie-up featuring Paranormasight: The Mermaid’s Curse and its characters will appear in the Iseshima region of Japan’s Mie Prefecture. Square Enix revealed the plan via its Japanese official social media account for the Paranormasight series.

One of the highlights in this collaboration will be the pamphlet that ties Kameshima, the location featured in the new Paranormasight game, with the real Kamishima island in Mie Prefecture. While the inspired island only has one different letter in the alphabet, the Japanese kanji used has a wordplay that replaces “God Island” with “Turtle Island.” Square Enix will also place panels featuring the game’s main characters across the prefecture.

The official Japanese announcement tweet is also available to view right below. Square Enix has noted, however, that the images in this tweet are still under supervision and pending final approvals. The company will announce the exact dates for the tie-up campaigns at a later time.

The new Paranormasight entry had its world premiere reveal at the early February 2026 Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase. Square Enix later added that the game is coming to not only Nintendo Switch but also PC via Steam, as well as iOS and Android mobile devices.

Square Enix also separately announced that it will publish an official setting book for the Paranormasight series on April 23, 2026, at 3,080 yen (~$19.90). This book will contain more details on the characters and stories from both the first entry (The Seven Mysteries of Honjo) and the new game.

Paranormasight: The Mermaid’s Curse is releasing worldwide for Nintendo Switch, PC, iOS, and Android on February 19, 2026.
