Broken is not one entity in these stories. The name appears across several unrelated works, including the anime 'With Vengeance, Sincerely, Your Broken Saintess', Serafini Productions' BrokenLore horror series, and other titles that share the word. The most recent stories cover Inui Toko's single 'Broken' and a second closed alpha for SAW: Genesis.
The word Broken in these stories points to several different properties, and the coverage does not converge on one. The anime 'With Vengeance, Sincerely, Your Broken Saintess' is the most consistently covered: a second season premieres October 1 on TV Kanagawa, with Saya Fukase directing at IMAGICA Infos and Imageworks Studio, replacing first-season director Chisaki. Asami Seto returns as Rua, and Tomoaki Maeno, Minami Tsuda, and Reio Tsuchida are among the returning cast confirmed in the second teaser.
Serafini Productions' BrokenLore series is the other thread. BrokenLore: FOLLOW shipped as a prequel to UNFOLLOW, BrokenLore: DON'T LIE launches September 10 for PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One with a hikikomori protagonist named Junko, and four demos ran during Steam Next Fest, including in-house titles BrokenLore: ASCEND and DON'T LIE plus publishing titles The Hambagu Shop and Antichrist.
The remaining stories use Broken in separate titles and are not about the same property: Broken Reality 2000 launched July 28 on Steam and Xbox, Tin Bird's All Our Broken Parts put a trial version on Steam on August 3, and Spiderling Studios shipped the Besiege expansion 'The Broken Beyond.' SAW: Genesis ran a second closed alpha from September 17 to 20. Inui Toko's 'Broken' began streaming September 9 as the lead track from her second mini album 'One day,' due October 7.
