Asgard: Overview and General Status
The Asgard arc is an "anime-only" arc (created for the TV series) that introduced a recognizable roster of God Warriors: Dubhe Alpha Siegfried, Merak Beta Hagen, Phecda Gamma Thor, Megrez Delta Alberich, Benetnasch Eta Mime, Alioth Epsilon Fenrir, Alcor Zeta Bud & Mizar Zeta Syd, as well as the priestess Polaris Hilda. These characters are often reused in merchandise, figures and games, but their presence varies considerably from one title to another: some console games (fighters/3D games) include the entire Asgard arc, while in some mobile games the God Warriors mainly appear as secondary content or through fan databases.

Where to Find Asgard in Console Games (Fighting/Action)
Saint Seiya: Brave Soldiers (PS3) and Saint Seiya: Soldiers' Soul (PS3/PS4/PC) are the console titles with the largest anime character rosters: the Asgard arc is explicitly included, and several God Warriors are playable or appear as bosses. Contemporary reviews and announcements clearly list Siegfried, Hagen, Alberich, Mime, Fenrir, Bud/Syd and Hilda among the characters or Asgard-related content in Soldiers' Soul (and Brave Soldiers had already included Asgard elements in its roster/bonus content). These versions offer faithful presentation (anime cutscenes and recreated Asgard arenas) and movesets inspired by the techniques seen on screen. (Siliconera)
Asgard in Mobile Games / Gacha / RPGs — Where to Find Them (Examples)
There are many different Saint Seiya mobile games; here are some that feature Asgard's God Warriors:
- Saint Seiya: Cosmo Fantasy / Zodiac Brave — according to player databases and wikis, the Zodiac Brave mobile license has included God Cloths and units inspired by Asgard (profiles for Siegfried, Alberich, Mime and others). These pages are community-maintained, but they show that the God Warriors are often used as skins/units in these games. (Saint Seiya Pedia)
- Saint Seiya: Rebirth / Rebirth 2 — some God Warriors (particularly Siegfried and Alberich) can be found in fan databases and promotional images for unofficial mobile games or local versions; this evidence mainly comes from fan sites, screenshots and data profiles. (Pinterest)
Important: a God Warrior appearing in one mobile game does not mean that they are in all mobile games; the fragmented licensing landscape (different publishers and local versions) explains why some titles include Asgard and others do not.
Where Asgard Is Not Present — KOTZ / Awakening
Unlike the console games mentioned above, Saint Seiya Awakening: Knights of the Zodiac (KOTZ) — the most visible mobile gacha game in recent years — does not include Asgard's God Warriors as playable units. The game's official listings, patch notes and public databases do not list Siegfried, Hagen, Thor, Alberich, Mime, Fenrir, Bud/Syd or Hilda as available units in the main roster; the confusion stems from the fact that other games contain these characters, while KOTZ has so far focused on Canon Saints and arcs such as Sanctuary / Poseidon / Hades / Elysion. If an official announcement were made, it would be listed in the patch notes and on the game's official website/account. (saintseiya.fandom.com)
Character by Character — Notable Appearances
Method: for each God Warrior, I list the games in which their presence is documented (console/mobile/fan sites). The references come from official pages, gaming/press articles and community databases.
Dubhe Alpha — Siegfried
- Soldiers' Soul / Brave Soldiers (console): playable / boss (the roster and gameplay videos show this). (Siliconera)
- Mobile games / Cosmo Fantasy / Rebirth (fan wikis & databases): profiles and artwork indicate Siegfried units in certain local mobile titles / non-KOTZ versions. (Saint Seiya: Cosmo Fantasy)
Merak Beta — Hagen
- Soldiers' Soul: present and shown in gameplay (matchups against Hyōga, etc.). (saintseiya.fandom.com)
- Other games: appearance reported through fan profiles/videos (less common than Siegfried, but documented for console titles and some ports). (YouTube)
Phecda Gamma — Thor
- Soldiers' Soul: Thor is among the playable/featured God Warriors. Gameplay videos show his attacks. (Siliconera)
Megrez Delta — Alberich
- Soldiers' Soul / Brave Soldiers: Alberich appears and has dedicated cutscenes/fights. (saintseiya.fandom.com)
- Cosmo Fantasy / other mobile games: files/artwork from unit pages show Alberich as a usable character in certain mobile games. (Pinterest)
Benetnasch Eta — Mime
- Soldiers' Soul: Mime is listed among the featured God Warriors. Gameplay and images show his fights. (Siliconera)
Alioth Epsilon — Fenrir
- Soldiers' Soul: Fenrir is part of the game's Asgard roster (with battles shown in videos and profiles). (saintseiya.fandom.com)
Alcor Zeta — Bud / Syd (Alcor Bud & Mizar Syd)
- Soldiers' Soul and several pieces of merchandise/figures feature Bud/Syd; they are part of the Asgard roster. Their presence as playable units depends on the title (often as bosses or secondary characters). (Siliconera)
Polaris Hilda (priestess)
- Soldiers' Soul: Hilda is tied to the arc and appears in the title's Asgard content (cutscenes / mission / cinematics). In some games, she is generally treated as a key narrative character rather than a "playable DPS." (Siliconera)
Why Asgard Appears in Some Games and Not Others
- Licensing & editorial focus: "cross-saga" console games (Brave Soldiers / Soldiers' Soul) aim to bring together popular arcs for fan service and one-on-one battles — Asgard is a good fit; mobile gacha games, meanwhile, select characters based on demand, meta balance and local licensing agreements. This explains the fragmented appearances. (Siliconera)
- Production costs and meta prioritization: integrating an entire arc (cutscenes, armor colossi and special mechanics) is expensive; some studios prefer to add "safe" Saints (Gold Saints and main Bronze Saints) before "anime-only" arcs. KOTZ, for example, has prioritized the canonical arcs.
- Community demand vs. roadmap: demand for Asgard is real (forums, Reddit), but without an official announcement or evidence in the patch notes, its integration remains speculative.
Conclusion & Recommendations for Following Asgard News in Games
- The Asgard arc is definitely present and playable in the console titles Brave Soldiers / Soldiers' Soul (the strongest evidence). In the mobile ecosystem, Asgard implementations or skins can be found in certain games (Cosmo Fantasy / Rebirth / local titles), mainly through community databases. (Siliconera)
- Keep an eye on the official patch notes and the Twitter account / website for Saint Seiya Awakening (KOTZ) if you are waiting for Asgard in KOTZ; for consoles, Steam/E3 listings and specialist articles (Siliconera, GameFAQs and gaming articles) document older rosters. (Siliconera)
