Takaya Kuroda's two most recent credits are a new RGG Studio lead and a Japanese voice cast for Delta Force. RGG Studio head Masayoshi Yokoyama posted a video clarifying that Kuroda did not undergo face capture for Stranger Than Heaven, the game where Kuroda voices Takeo Godai. Kuroda denied having his face scanned, joking that he has a softer face. The clarification confirms the character is still modeled after him, so a visual connection remains without a full facial scan. The game is set for release on January 15, 2027.

On September 8, 2026, Team Jade added Japanese voice acting for all 17 operators in Delta Force, with a cast that includes Yoshitsugu Matsuoka, Kuroda, and Sumire Uesaka. The same day opened the season Reorientation, which added support operator Rover, a Warfare map inspired by Black Hawk Down, an updated Laili Valley, and fishing. Anniversary events begin September 26, and the 2026 Delta Force Invitational runs November 27 to 29 in Stockholm, with one Japan slot in the field and an offline Tokyo event in October.
