Shironeko Project NEW WORLD'S is in its 12th anniversary period, with a new console action game announced for 2027 and a third Hololive collaboration running through August 31, 2026.
Shironeko Project NEW WORLD'S enters its 12th anniversary cycle with a slate of in-game and merchandise events. The "12th Anniversary Eve Festival" ran through June 30, offering up to 99 daily gacha chances, a Golden Special Character Gacha, and revival quests. The anniversary live broadcast took place on July 11, two days before the franchise's actual 12th anniversary on July 14.
At that July 11 broadcast, Colopl announced Shironeko Project INFINITY, a completely new action game for Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2, planned for 2027. It is not a port of the smartphone version and features over 50 playable characters plus a new Character Link System. The announcement marks the franchise's first expansion to home consoles.
In August, the anniversary merchandise line expanded with FOX Co. selling slim protection cases in 24 designs for over 170 models, plus five art panel designs, priced from 4,980 yen for cases to 15,800 yen for art panel speakers. The same month, the third Hololive collaboration began on August 31, bringing Hololive Gamers members Shirakami Fubuki, Ookami Mio, Nekomata Okayu, and Inugami Korone as playable characters. The first and second collaboration events return with parameter adjustments, and the four members host anniversary streams.

Max Factory is producing a figma of Nekomata Okayu, a member of the Hololive Production VTuber group. The figure is priced at 12,800 yen including tax and is scheduled for release in August 2027. It stands about 140mm tall in non-scale, is made of plastic, and comes with a dedicated base. The figma is sold through limited distribution channels including AmiAmi, the hobby mail-order retailer that announced the product.
The figure includes four face parts: Smile, Closed-eye Smile, Troubled Face, and Funya~ Face. Optional parts include a handheld game console, an Onigiryaa, and sunglasses, letting owners recreate scenes from Okayu's streams. Prototype production is credited to Max Factory's Ryosuke Maeda, with production cooperation from Masaki Asai.
The announcement adds another Hololive member to the figma lineup. Because distribution is limited to AmiAmi and select channels, the product page notes that interested buyers should check early.
