FURYU's Survival TPS ANOMALITH Launches October 29

FURYU announced its new original survival third-person shooter Anomalith on May 22, with a release date set for October 29, 2026, on PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, and Steam. The game is set in an alternate Japan where the Showa era never ended, and players control 17-year-old Reona Minazuki, an investigator for the government-established Hazard Zone Countermeasure Office. She enters sudden, liminal-space-like Otherworlds to find her missing friend Arisa Kato. Combat combines customizable firearms with 12 types of Aberration Skills, including a parry that deflects enemy attacks. Players manage limited ammunition and inventory space, choosing which supplies and artifacts to bring back to base for upgrades. The story is written by Romeo Tanaka, with character design by MON and music by Tomoya Kitamura. Pre-orders began May 22, with a collaboration pre-order bonus tied to Lost Property Control Organization and free collaboration DLC from other FURYU titles. A web broadcast special featuring cast members Hitomi Ueda, Natsumi Haruse, and Riho Sugiyama is scheduled for May 26.

The Hazard Zone Countermeasure Office treats its investigators as disposable. A superior officer tells a frightened agent, "Go. That's the only way for you to survive," after a fellow investigator dies in front of them, according to a Denfaminicogamer preview. The same preview describes the working conditions as "clearly black labor."

Combat relies on a parry system. Enemies glow yellow during attack timing, making it easier to judge when to deflect, and unparryable attacks glow red, according to Game Spark. The parry window is generous, and the key is memorizing attack patterns rather than perfect timing. There is no lock-on function, so camera control can be tricky against fast enemies.

The protagonist Reona Minazuki enters a "Half-Aberration" state when her HP drops below a certain level. In this state, MP auto-recovers and skill power increases, but the risk is higher. Players can also intentionally consume HP to convert to MP.

Gun types are divided into five categories: handguns, shotguns, submachine guns, assault rifles, and sniper rifles. Attachments such as suppressors, stocks, grips, and sights can be swapped for each firearm, and colors can be changed per part. Costumes are divided into nine parts and affect stats, but players can change only the appearance while maintaining performance.

The full cast includes Kyoka Sudo (CV: Keiko Watanabe), Imari Fushimi (CV: Shion Wakayama), May Hibiya (CV: Hikari Kubota), Kaede Mori (CV: Natsumi Fujiwara), and an unnamed girl (CV: ???). The "Limited Edition Hazard Zone Countermeasure Office BOX" is priced at 12,100 yen and includes an 80-page art book, a select mini soundtrack, and a DLC set with three costumes and three weapons. The Digital Deluxe Edition costs the same and includes a digital art book and soundtrack. A free DLC set of backpacks from other FURYU titles, including Valet, Renatis, Crimaxina, Monarch, Caligula 2, and Crystar, is planned as a collaboration campaign.
