Raji: Kaliyuga

Raji: Kaliyuga is the sequel to Raji: An Ancient Epic and takes place six years after the first adventure. Raji returns as an experienced warrior, while her younger brother Darsh moves to the center as the second playable protagonist. Together they confront Mahabalasura, whose attack tears open the boundaries between the worlds of humans, gods and Asuras.

Nodding Heads Games is developing the sequel as a considerably larger third-person action adventure. The story stays rooted in Indian mythology but, according to the studio, should also be understandable for players who don't know the predecessor.

No specific release date for Raji: Kaliyuga has been announced yet. Steam lists the game as “Coming soon”, and the PlayStation Store lists the release date as still open. Xbox also confirms an upcoming launch but has not yet given a date.

At launch, the game is also announced for Game Pass on Xbox. Once Nodding Heads Games announces a fixed date, this page will be updated accordingly.

Raji: Kaliyuga is announced for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. A Steam page already exists for PC, while Sony lists the game for PS5 on the PlayStation Store. On Xbox it releases for Series X|S and Xbox on PC, and is also set to be available via Xbox Cloud.

Xbox also confirms Game Pass and Xbox Play Anywhere. This means a shared purchase or access across Xbox and PC through the Xbox ecosystem is planned.

The most visible change from Raji: An Ancient Epic is the perspective: instead of an isometric view, the sequel uses a full third-person action adventure. The developer gameplay shown at Tokyo Game Show 2026 focuses on the different fighting styles of Raji and Darsh.

Raji fights with her Trishul and combines acrobatic movement with melee combat. Darsh instead uses so-called Siddhis and can combine powers around energy, gravity and time. There is also an adjustable dodge system that can develop differently for each character. Switching between Raji and Darsh happens as the story progresses, and the other character can be present as a companion.

The preliminary PC system requirements on Steam list Windows 10 64-bit, 8 GB memory and 100 GB of free storage. Minimum graphics cards listed include a GeForce RTX 2070, Radeon RX 5700 XT or Intel Arc A750. For recommended settings, the developer lists a GeForce RTX 3060 or Radeon RX 6600 XT, among others.
