Sekai Project is actively licensing visual novel sequels and new titles for Western release in 2026, alongside merchandise and artbook projects tied to established series.
Sekai Project announced two rounds of licensing in 2026, both at North American conventions. At Anime Central in May, the company picked up two visual novel sequels: Neko-Mimi Sweet Housemates 2 from Animal Herb and Neko-Nin exHeart Spin! 2 from Whirlpool, both slated for Western release in 2026. It also secured the Nekopara 10th Anniversary -Sayori Art Works- artbook for a third-quarter 2026 release.
Two months later, at Anime Expo in July, Sekai Project licensed Cabbage Soft's Jewelry Hearts Academia, a visual novel originally released in Japan in 2022, for a Western release in 2026. The same panel included a demo for Akaneiro ni Somaru Saka and a Grisaia series merchandise collaboration with Frontwing marking the series' 15th anniversary.
The two announcements show Sekai Project continuing to fill its 2026 slate with sequels from established Japanese developers and new licenses from smaller studios, while also supporting older feng titles and anniversary merchandise for long-running series.
