Wild Arms (ワイルドアームズ, Wairudo Āmuzu), also written as Wild ARMs,[1] is a media franchise developed by Media.Vision and owned by Sony Computer Entertainment. The franchise consists of several role-playing video games and related media. Since the launch of the original Wild Arms title in 1996,[2] the series has gone on to encompass several media, including toys, manga, mobile phone applications, and a 22-episode anime.
The series has largely been overseen by producer Akifumi Kaneko. It saw regular releases throughout the late 1990s and 2000s. Following its last major entry, Wild Arms XF, in 2007, it became dormant save for a crossover mobile game, Wild Arms: Million Memories, released a decade later. Kaneko crowdfunded an open world spiritual successor, Armed Fantasia, in 2022, alongside Naruke and other series veterans. The title is currently in development.
