Furyu is preparing to release two new action titles in fall 2026, and the run-up has been shaped by a direct response to public skepticism about the studio's output. When demand for the Anomalith closed demo test exceeded expectations, Furyu reversed its lottery plan and selected all applicants, acknowledging the sentiment of "But it's Furyu..." and saying it takes the criticism seriously. The demo test drew roughly 75% positive responses, and only 18% of participants listed Furyu titles among their favorite games, suggesting the title is reaching beyond the studio's existing fanbase.
Anomalith, a survival third-person shooter set in a fictional Showa-era Japan, has built momentum through Steam wishlist milestones, passing 30,000 in late May and 40,000 in late June, with the team reporting over 50,000 registrations by early August. The game's creative team includes scenario writer Romeo Tanaka, character designer MON, and composer Yuka Kitamura, whose main theme debuted in a June 30 story trailer. The game is scheduled for release on October 29 for PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam.
Crymelight, a roguelike action game set in an afterlife called Wonderland, is also scheduled for a November 5 release on the same platforms. Both games had playable demos at ChinaJoy 2026, and Crymelight was also exhibited at Tokyo Game Dungeon 13. Limited-time demos for both titles are available on Steam from August 1 to August 9 as part of the Six One Demo Days event, with the Anomalith demo including a tie-up with the film Backrooms.
Outside these new titles, Furyu is running a "Hanamaru Summer Sale" for the third anniversary of Crymachina, with discounts up to 90% off, and the combined Crymachina and Crystar series has sold over 770,000 copies worldwide. Furyu Prize also announced a noodle stopper figure of Helm from Goddess of Victory: NIKKE, scheduled for release around December 2026.
