Bandai Namco Filmworks is running the 24th batch of titles on its free Sunrise Channel YouTube channel, with three series streaming from episode one for the first time there. Across the group, October 2026 is a dense release month: Premium Bandai preorders for figures and model kits, a CODE VEIN II watch reorder window, and the launch of The Blood of Dawnwalker's Update 1.1 on Steam in Japan.
Bandai's October 2026 output runs in parallel tracks: the filmworks unit curating its own streaming channel, the spirits and candy divisions filling Premium Bandai with preorders, and the entertainment side shipping patches and game announcements. Bandai Namco Filmworks opened the 24th batch of the Sunrise Channel with Chouja Raideen, Sentimental Journey and Sacred Seven streaming from episode one for the first time on the channel, alongside resumed runs of older robot shows. It also put the first 10 minutes of the fifth Girls und Panzer das Finale film on YouTube a day after theJapanese theatrical opening.
The collectible side is a Premium Bandai schedule rather than a retail one. Lottery rounds, not open orders, govern the METAL ROBOT Spirits (Ka signature) Enhanced ZZ Gundam, now in its third preorder round, and the 48cm Dragon Ball Z Gigantic Series Super Saiyan Son Goku. The same channel carries the S.H.MonsterArts Keizer Ghidorah, the S.H.Figuarts Whitebeard Marineford figure, the S.H.Figuarts Ultraman Hikari, and model kits including RG Star GaoGaiGar and the HG Reben Wolf. Bandai Candy Division is running its own preorder windows for G-Frame FA Vol. 11 and FW GUNDAM CONVERGE #31.
On the games side, Bandai Namco Entertainment released Update 1.1 for The Blood of Dawnwalker on October 22, removing the blood and gore restrictions on the Japanese Steam version and restoring the game's opening, with the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S change set for early 2027. Tales of Eternia Remastered launched October 15 across current consoles and Steam. Ace Combat Zero's Steam preorder bonus for Ace Combat 8 is moving to a standalone application, while remaining restricted to players who already have the bonus.
