Two separate works carry the Before Dawn name in current coverage. A 14-item capsule collection called BEFORE DAWN pairs the Williams F1 Team with Initial D Legend3 -Mugen-, and Inio Asano's short story collection Before Dawn and the End of the World has a new English release date of March 4.
Two unrelated releases share the Before Dawn name in the current story set. The first is a capsule collection, BEFORE DAWN, that pairs the Atlassian Williams F1 Team with Initial D Legend3 -Mugen-. It lists 14 items: jackets, hoodies, T-shirts, pin badges, keychains, bottles, and a mechanical watch. Prices run from 3,200 yen to 111,900 yen. Sales started September 21, 2026 on the Sector Zero member platform. Shipping begins in late November, with the PROJECT D AUTOMATIC WATCH alone set for late February 2027.
The second is Inio Asano's short story collection Before Dawn and the End of the World, published in English by Abrams ComicArts' Kana imprint. Kana moved the release to March 4, from a previously set November date. The anthology collects ten stories originally serialized in Shogakukan's Big Comic Spirits from 2005 to 2008. The stories had not been published in English before.
The two share only a title. One is merchandise tied to a racing team and an anime property, sold through a membership platform with a staggered shipping schedule that runs into early 2027. The other is a translated manga anthology from Asano's early period, now dated to spring. Coverage treats them as separate items with separate audiences.
