Project RX had its first public showing at Anime Expo 2026 in Los Angeles, featuring voice-recognition rock-paper-scissors interactions. It is also scheduled for Tokyo Game Show 2026 in September.
Project RX is a new subculture game from IO Division, the team behind Blue Archive. The project was first revealed in June 2026 with an official X account and a teaser trailer. General producer Kim Yong-ha and illustrator YutokaMizu are attached as art director. The game is in development for PC, console, and smartphone.
At Anime Expo 2026, IO Division showed Project RX to the public for the first time. The booth featured voice-recognition rock-paper-scissors interactions with characters. In producer interviews captured in a vlog, the team said they aim to avoid competing with Blue Archive and are not leading with combat content. The deliberate choice to show non-combat interactions first suggests the team is building a distinct new IP rather than a direct successor.
Project RX is also confirmed for Tokyo Game Show 2026 in September, where Nexon will feature it alongside Mabinogi Mobile. A teaser site is live with more details to come.
