After ICEY Crowdfunding Passes 25 Million Yuan As Director Urges Restraint
The campaign has already raised far more than the team can convert into a bigger game before launch, so the studio is promising quality work and post-launch free DLC rather than a larger or later project.

TAMASHI GAMING is developing After ICEY, a side-scrolling action sequel timed to the 10th anniversary of ICEY, and its Modian crowdfunding campaign has drawn 170,000 supporters and about 25.37 million yuan with 42 days left. Director Mark Xiao said on a bilibili stream that the team of six cannot scale up quickly and asked backers not to raise expectations too high.
TAMASHI GAMING is building After ICEY as a 10th anniversary sequel, with a new female navigator whose instructions players can follow or defy. The studio is not the original ICEY developer FantaBlade Network; it was formed by former members who left, led by director Mark Xiao.
The game is set after the previous ending and adds parry and sprint abilities, with three targets to defeat and masks formed from soul crystals to recover. It is planned for PC via Steam in the second quarter of 2027, with a page listing a launch around May 1, 2027 at 48 yuan.
