The Girls' Frontline franchise is in a period of transition, with one title ending and others expanding. Hecate Team, a subsidiary of Sunborn, announced on June 10, 2026, that the spin-off third-person shooter Girls' Frontline: Fire Control will end service on August 26, 2026. The title launched in early access in Thailand in October 2025 and operated mainly in Southeast Asia. Hecate Team's next project is in preparation, while Sunborn has announced new titles Ricoraps: F and Dolls Frontline: Blue Covenant.

Meanwhile, Girls' Frontline 2: Exilium is seeing a surge in merchandise and crossover activity. Max Factory is releasing a figma of Kurukai, the elite doll and commander of H.I.D.E.404, in April 2027, marking the first Girls' Frontline 2: Exilium character to get a figma. The figure includes three face plates with movable eyes, an assault rifle, a baton, a removable axe, and a handgun, and stands about 156mm tall. Max Factory's Girls' Frontline 2: Exilium figma Kulkai took first place in Amazon Japan's Hobby New Arrivals Ranking for the Figures & Collector Dolls category as of June 17, 2026. Figure brand Calbone announced a 1/7 scale figure of Florence in her Strange Tororo Mochi skin, priced at 25,960 yen and shipping in March 2027. HASUKI is releasing a 1/12 scale articulated figure of Kulkai Blue Trajectory, with a deluxe edition that includes two optional swimsuit sets.

Sunborn revealed during the 1.5th anniversary program for Girls' Frontline 2: Exilium a large-scale collaboration with Ultraman and SSSS.Gridman. Specific content and timing are not yet disclosed. A limited-time Bee Robo Kabutack collaboration skin for Voimastina is also available until June 30, 2026. Separately, developer D.IKUSHIMA is bringing the original freeware game Front Line, which has over 1 million cumulative downloads, to Steam in July 2026 with modern compatibility updates and live streaming support.
