Colopl has announced Shironeko Project Infinity, a new game featuring characters from Shironeko Project New World's, for release on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 in 2027. The announcement follows a long development history: a Switch game was first announced in 2018 under the title Shironeko New Project, delayed in 2019 from 2020 to an undetermined date. The smartphone game launched in 2014 and received a TV anime adaptation in 2020.
Colopl first announced a Shironeko Project game for Nintendo Switch in July 2018 under the working title Shironeko New Project. The company delayed the game in 2019, pushing its release from 2020 to an unspecified date, citing a decision to revise plans to better satisfy fans. Seven years later, the project has resurfaced as Shironeko Project Infinity, set for 2027 on both Switch and Switch 2.
The game will draw characters from Shironeko Project New World's, the rebranded version of the original smartphone game that launched in Japan in 2014. The mobile title received a television anime adaptation, Shironeko Project: Zero Chronicle, in 2020, streamed by Funimation. Colopl has not yet detailed gameplay or a more specific release window.
