Furyu is preparing two original titles for October and November 2026 releases, pushing both through a global demo tour and addressing public skepticism about its output. The studio also runs a prize figure and lottery business, including the NIKKE noodle stopper line and the Pixar World lottery.
Furyu is entering the fall 2026 season with two original titles, ANOMALITH and CRYMELIGHT, both set for close release dates. ANOMALITH, a survival third-person shooter set in a Showa-era Japan, launches October 29, and CRYMELIGHT, a roguelike action game in an afterlife called Wonderland, follows November 5. Both are planned for PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam. The company has been showing both games at multiple events: ChinaJoy in late July, the Six One Demo Days on Steam in early August, and then gamescom, PAX WEST, and Tokyo Game Show in late August and September.
Furyu has used these pre-release months to respond directly to doubts about its reputation. The Anomalith team publicly acknowledged the sentiment 'But it's Furyu...' and opened its closed demo test to all applicants. That test drew roughly 75% positive responses, with only 18% of participants naming Furyu titles among their favorites, suggesting the game reaches beyond the studio's existing audience. Wishlist counts climbed from 30,000 in May to over 40,000 in June, then past 50,000 by August. The team credits scenario writer Romeo Tanaka, character designer MON, and composer Yuka Kitamura, whose main theme debuted in a June story trailer.
Alongside the games, Furyu's prize and lottery business remains active. Furyu Prize announced a noodle stopper figure of Helm from Goddess of Victory: NIKKE, and the company launched the FURYU Kuji MUNDO PIXAR lottery at the Pixar World Exhibition. The Crymachina series marked its third anniversary with a sale that brought the standard edition to 87-90% off, and the two Crymachina titles have sold over 770,000 copies combined.
