Shironeko Project NEW WORLD'S entered its 12th anniversary cycle with the eve festival campaign in late June 2026, offering up to 99 daily gacha chances and revival quests until June 30. A live broadcast on July 11 preceded the actual anniversary date of July 14.

That July 11 broadcast carried the biggest announcement in years: a new console game, Shironeko Project Infinity, for Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 with a 2027 release window. Colopl positions the title as a new action game built for consoles rather than a port, featuring over 50 playable characters from the mobile game and introducing original characters. Battles let players recruit or strengthen allies, and combining characters triggers 'Character Links' that evolve actions and apply buffs. The game supports single-player and local multiplayer for up to four players.

The console announcement revives an effort first revealed in 2018 as Shironeko New Project, which was delayed in 2019 from 2020 to an undetermined date. The smartphone game itself launched in 2014 and received a TV anime adaptation in 2020. In late August, Colopl announced the third Hololive collaboration for the mobile game, starting August 31 and featuring Hololive Gamers members Shirakami Fubuki, Ookami Mio, Nekomata Okayu, and Inugami Korone as playable characters, with swimsuit mode changes and reruns of the first two collaboration events from 2024 and 2025.
