AREA35 is developing the turn-based strategy sequel Tiny Metal 2 for a spring 2027 release on PC, and its Tiny Metal franchise is expanding into an anime adaptation, Tiny Metal: Zero Line, which has already premiered a pilot episode.
AREA35, the studio behind the Tiny Metal tactical game series, is advancing on two fronts. In May 2026, the studio brought a playable demo of Tiny Metal 2 to BitSummit PUNCH in Kyoto. The sequel adds naval warfare, over ten new characters, and cooperative play. A party game spinoff, PROJECT BLITZ, was also shown at the event. The full game is planned for a spring 2027 release on Steam.
Two months later, in July 2026, AREA35 announced an anime adaptation of the series. Tiny Metal: Zero Line is directed by Hiroyasu Kobayashi, the CGI director of the Rebuild of Evangelion films, and is being produced at studio SAFEHOUSE, which previously worked on Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance. The pilot episode premiered at Japan Expo 2026. Character designer Yūsuke Kozaki and composer Gō Shiina are attached to the project. The anime is based on AREA35's game series, and the game sequel Tiny Metal 2 is scheduled for spring 2027 on PC.
