Imagineer has a 2027 release set for Fit Boxing Touken Ranbu -Shutsujin! Exercise Honmaru- on Switch and Switch 2, and is still selling Medarot Card Robottle RB and Walking Mystery 2. Its staff also appears on the ThinkingAI Summit 2026 Tokyo speaker list.
Imagineer's recent releases show a company working several established series at once. Medarot Card Robottle RB Kabuto / Kuwagata Ver. arrived on Nintendo Switch on June 25, 2026, rebuilt as a digital card game rather than a sequel to the 2000 Game Boy title. Walking Mystery 2: The Mermaid Legend Murder Case followed for Switch on September 17, with director and scenario writer Tomio Kanazawa describing a structure built from a pitch by CEO Kazunori Sumioka, a three-part story, and a different town per title.
The next confirmed release is Fit Boxing Touken Ranbu -Shutsujin! Exercise Honmaru-, announced during the September 9, 2026 Nintendo Direct and scheduled for January 15, 2027 on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2. Six sword warriors appear as 3D instructors, and a Nito Kenbu Mode lets players train with two at once. The title is the first full collaboration between Fit Boxing and Touken Ranbu; earlier Touken Ranbu content in Fit Boxing 2 was BGM DLC only.
On the publishing side, Imagineer is bringing syn Sophia's Magical Craft: My Enchanted Dress Shop to the West for Switch on October 2. The life sim debuted in Japan in November and has players make dresses, gather materials, and talk with villagers in a village called Fleune.
