Furyu's upcoming survival third-person shooter Anomalith has become the company's most visible current project, with a series of pre-release milestones and marketing moves in mid-2026. The game, set in a Showa-retro version of Japan where players investigate a liminal space called the Otherworld, is scheduled for release on October 29, 2026, for PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam. Scenario writer Romeo Tanaka and character designer MON lead the creative team, with composer Yuka Kitamura providing the main theme and BGM.
Pre-release interest has grown steadily. Anomalith surpassed 30,000 Steam wishlist registrations by late May, then crossed 40,000 by late June. Furyu responded to each milestone with special content: a preview of Kitamura's BGM track at 30,000, and a Tanaka-penned short story at 40,000. The company also reversed an earlier lottery plan for the closed demo test, selecting all applicants instead, directly addressing public skepticism about Furyu's output with the acknowledgment that the team takes the sentiment seriously.
Separately, Furyu Prize continues its line of arcade prize figures for Goddess of Victory: NIKKE, announcing a noodle stopper figure of Helm in her After Shower costume for release around December 2026. The figure is Helm's first appearance as a noodle stopper in the ongoing series, which has previously included Modernia and Red Hood.

Players control 17-year-old Reona Minazuki, an investigator for the government's Hazard Zone Countermeasures Office, who searches for a friend lost in an Otherworld.

Furyu announced that its upcoming survival third-person shooter Anomalith has surpassed 40,000 Steam wishlist registrations. To mark the milestone, the company published a short story titled '■■ Handwritten Notes Found in the Mountains' on the official X account. The story was written by Tanaka Romeo, who is handling the game's scenario. The short story is meant to convey the game's unsettling atmosphere, where a familiar place gradually becomes one from which there is no return. Furyu plans to release additional special content at each wishlist milestone; when the next goal of 50,000 is reached, an original illustration by character designer MON is scheduled to be released. Anomalith is a survival TPS set in a Showa-era retro Japan. Players investigate a special space called the 'Otherworld,' a liminal space that suddenly appeared, searching for a friend who went missing after being swallowed by it. The game is scheduled for release on October 29, 2026, for PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, and Steam. The standard edition costs 8,580 yen, while the limited 'Hazard Zone Countermeasures Office BOX' and Digital Deluxe Edition each cost 12,100 yen.
