Nitroplus is supporting its 2025 PC action game Dolls Nest with a free October 2026 Combat Test update and a PLAMATEA model kit of the Unknown Armored Soldier, while its Nitro Origin label has released the 2000 visual novel Phantom PHANTOM OF INFERNO on Steam.
Nitroplus is working two tracks at once. On the game side, Dolls Nest, its PC action title, gets a free major update in October 2026. The update adds Combat Test, an arena mode where players fight training units and a combat skill grade rises with the number of units destroyed. Reward items follow that grade. A trial build of Combat Test is playable at Tokyo Game Show 2026, though that build differs from the retail version. Outside the game itself, the Unknown Armored Soldier enemy from Dolls Nest is now a PLAMATEA assembly-type plastic model, sold through Rakuten Books at 11,031 yen including tax against a 12,799 yen reference price, with the AR102 A2 Gladius assault rifle, the Femt railgun, and ML32v5 Cetus missiles included along with a stand and interchangeable hands.
On the visual novel side, the Nitro Origin label released Phantom PHANTOM OF INFERNO on Steam on September 4, 2026. The release is the 2000 title that founded Nitroplus and the debut work of scenario writer Gen Urobuchi, later known for Puella Magi Madoka Magica and Fate/Zero. The Steam version matches the 2013 PC reverse port that added TV anime elements, supports Japanese, English, and Simplified Chinese text with full Japanese voice, and costs 3,500 yen including tax. The store page opened on August 7, confirming the date set after a January 1 announcement of the port, and the official website states there are no changes to the game content.
Across both tracks, the throughline is a catalog and a game library being kept in circulation. Dolls Nest gains repeatable content and a plastic model of the unit that stands in the player's way, while the Steam release puts the founding title in front of a modern audience with multilingual support. The stories do not agree on one label detail: one places the Steam release under Nitro Origin, another describes Nitroplus as the entity behind that brand.
