CyberAgent's recent output splits between NIJISANJI EN merchandise and television anime. Pre-orders for the NIJISANJI EN AUTUMN STYLE COLLECTION open on the Cyber Goods Store on October 16, 2026 at 13:00, with six livers (Alban Knox, Uki Violeta, Sonny Brisko, Ren Zotto, Doppio Dropscythe and Ver Vermillion) and eight autumn-fashion items, plus a purchase-amount novelty and a campaign to win a full goods set. Earlier in the month, Luxiem Kuji Vol.2 was set for an October 31, 2026 release at 770 yen per draw, running through November 30, with an online kuji that has no losing tickets and an offline kuji that also rolls out in select overseas regions. Both campaigns put the same unit merchandise in front of overseas buyers at the same time as the domestic run.

On the anime side, the Kagurabachi television anime added Yūichi Nakamura as Soshiro Azami, a sorcerer affiliated with the Kamunabi, to a cast that already includes Taihi Kimura as Chihiro Rokuhira, Tomokazu Seki as Kunishige Rokuhira, Katsuyuki Konishi as Togo Shiba, Miku Itō as Hinao and Miyari Nemoto as Char Kyonagi. The series premieres in April 2027 and streams worldwide that month excluding Japan, Mainland China, North Korea and South Korea. The Draw This, Then Die! adaptation premiered on July 3 on NTV's Friday Anime Night block at 11:30 p.m. JST, directed by Hiroaki Akagi at Shinei Animation with series scripts by Hiroko Fukuda.

Behind the releases, CyberAgent's Game & Entertainment core tech team is building Sirius, a Unity-based unified rendering system for large-scale live-service games. It consolidates shaders and pipelines across subsidiaries and carries R&D for stylized wind, plants, volumetric clouds and real-time weather changes, with the stated aim of reducing look development time.
