Zoids coverage is split between a reissued and newly licensed manga era and a dense run of model kit announcements. Michiro Ueyama will serialize the final arc of Zoids: New Century in 2027 with Takara Tomy's approval, and a new Chaotic Century manga is in the works. On the model side, kits are scheduled through April 2027 across the T-SPARK, Realize Model, Adamas Machina, and HMM lines.
The most recent stories about Zoids are about the older manga. Michiro Ueyama announced on X that he will serialize the final arc of Zoids: New Century starting in 2027, continuing the Zoids: New Century EX series he posted on his personal site about 20 years ago and left unfinished. It proceeds with official approval from Takara Tomy. Two days earlier, the official Zoids X account announced a new manga tentatively titled Zoids: Chaotic Century Kanketsu-hen, with more details to come later. Ueyama's original Chaotic Century manga ran in Shogakukan's Monthly Coro Coro Comics from 1999 to 2001, and the first anime premiered in 1999.
