ANOMALITH is a survival third-person shooter from Furyu, developed by Winning Entertainment Group, set for release on October 29 for PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam. Its demo is available indefinitely on Steam and was playable in a harder Survival Mode at Tokyo Game Show 2026, with an Xbox port under internal discussion after an official survey drew majority interest.

Furyu announced ANOMALITH in mid-2026 with a scenario by Romeo Tanaka, character design by MON, and music by Yuka Kitamura, and confirmed an October 29 release on PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam. The game is a survival third-person shooter set in a Showa-era Japan where players control 17-year-old Reona Minazuki, an investigator for the Special Hazard Zone Countermeasures Office, searching for a missing friend in anomalous spaces called Otherworlds. It is developed by Winning Entertainment Group and published by Furyu. The standard edition costs 8,580 yen; the Hazard Zone Countermeasures Office BOX and Digital Deluxe Edition each cost 12,100 yen.

The pre-release cycle has run through demos. A closed Steam demo ran from June 19 to June 28, and Furyu selected all applicants rather than holding a lottery. A public Steam demo launched August 1 during Six One Demo Days, drew roughly 20,000 new registrations, and exceeded expectations; Furyu withdrew the planned August 9 end date and kept the demo available indefinitely. Wishlist registrations passed 30,000 on May 30, 40,000 by June 27, 60,000 in early August, and 70,000 by August 8. Updates to the demo added mouse support, expanded key bindings, and, in late September, new high-difficulty content.

A system trailer on September 4 described the loop: players infiltrate the Otherworld to collect foreign objects and gather information on Anomalies, and collected objects develop weapons, equipment, and ammunition. At Tokyo Game Show 2026 in Hall 9, booth C63, visitors could try a Survival Mode harder than the public demo, where a single hit kills Reona and anyone who beats the boss Shirayamigata receives a commemorative coin. Development producer Kido Kai said first-day clear times averaged roughly 10 to 20 minutes. An official X survey on August 12 found more than half of respondents want to play the game on Xbox, an inquiry series producer Kido Kai said has reached the team.

Players can explore the game's world and battles before launch. A similar demo campaign runs on the official X account from October 8 at 10:00 to October 18 at 23:59, with 50 winners receiving either 20 selectable game prepaid cards worth 10,000 yen each or 30 original novelty goods sets.

ANOMALITH Survival Mode At TGS2026 Demands One Hit Clear

Furyu is exhibiting ANoMALITH, its PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC action game, at Tokyo Game Show 2026 in Hall 9, booth C63. Visitors can try a Survival Mode that is harder than the demo now in distribution, plus a separate hands-on demo of Crimelight. In Survival Mode, a single hit kills the protagonist, Reona Minazuki, and anyone who beats the boss Shirayamigata receives the venue-only Otherworld Investigation Mission Complete Commemorative Coin. According to development producer Kido Kai, first-day clear times averaged roughly 10 to 20 minutes; a Game Watch writer who knew the boss pattern died three times before clearing. Enemies in the standard demo take four to five handgun shots, and ammo is scarce enough that weak-point aiming matters more than speed. An official X survey on August 12 found more than half of respondents want to play the game on Xbox, an inquiry series producer Kido Kai said has reached the team.

The wishlist milestone follows the early access demo's launch on August 1, which drew approximately 20,000 new registrations and exceeded expectations. In response to the response, Furyu also withdrew the demo's August 9 end date, making it available indefinitely on Steam.

Furyu's Survival TPS Anomalith Demo Drops August 1

Furyu announced on July 25 that a limited-time demo for its survival third-person shooter Anomalith will launch on Steam from August 1 to August 8. The demo is part of the Six One Demo Days event, a week-long showcase organized by Six One Indie that features around 250 game demos. Anomalith is set in a fictional Showa-era Japan where players control 17-year-old Reona Minazuki, an investigator for the Special Hazard Zone Countermeasures Office searching for a missing friend in anomalous spaces called Otherworlds. The game combines exploration, resource management, and combat against creatures called Anomalies, with 12 unique transformation abilities. A closed demo test held from June 19 to June 28 drew roughly 75% positive responses, with only 18% of participants listing Furyu titles among their favorite games, suggesting the title appeals beyond the studio's existing fanbase. Feedback from that test prompted adjustments including the addition of a Story difficulty and a constant dash setting, which will be in the August demo. Anomalith is scheduled for full release on October 29 for PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam. A separate demo for Furyu's roguelike action game Crymelight will also be available during the same event.
