What Tokyo Ghoul video games are there?
Five games in the franchise’s first decade, mostly for phones, and one late console release.
Tokyo Ghoul’s games were made by Bandai Namco and stayed close to home: two mobile titles and a PlayStation Vita adventure in the first wave, another mobile game in 2017, and a PlayStation 4 action game, Tokyo Ghoul: re Call to Exist, in November 2019, the one release built for consoles in the West as well. The character has since travelled further as a guest: Ken Kaneki joined Dead by Daylight as a playable Killer on April 2, 2025.
