Furyu's survival TPS ANOMALITH is set for release on October 29, 2026, for PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam, following a closed demo test that was opened to all applicants and a story trailer that debuted the main theme.
Furyu's upcoming survival third-person shooter ANOMALITH has built pre-release momentum through a series of milestones and public engagement efforts. The game, set in a Showa-retro version of Japan, follows 17-year-old Reona Minazuki as she investigates a liminal space called the Otherworld to find a missing friend. Players use firearms and a power called Heteromorphosis Skills to fight beings called Anomalies. The scenario is handled by Romeo Tanaka, character design by MON, and the main theme song was composed by Yuka Kitamura.
Steam wishlist registrations grew rapidly, surpassing 30,000 in late May and then 40,000 by late June. To mark the 30,000 milestone, a preview of Kitamura's BGM track 'The Other Side of the White Coat' was released. For the 40,000 milestone, Tanaka wrote a short story titled '■■ Handwritten Notes Found in the Mountains,' published on the official X account. Furyu plans to release an original illustration by MON when the wishlist count reaches 50,000.
Furyu ran a closed demo test for the Steam version from June 19 to June 26. Initially planned as a lottery due to high demand, the company reversed course and selected all applicants, acknowledging public skepticism about its output with the phrase 'But it's Furyu...' and stating it takes the sentiment seriously. A public demo for all platforms is planned for early October, incorporating feedback from the closed test. The story trailer, released on June 30, debuted the main theme song and provided the first narrative and music details. The game launches on October 29, 2026, for PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam, with standard and limited editions priced at 8,580 yen and 12,100 yen respectively.
