Touken Ranbu ONLINE

Synthesized from 5 Yomimono stories · updated Jul 22

In mid-2026, Touken Ranbu ONLINE is sustaining its 11th year with a series of promotional campaigns that extend the game into physical retail, sports, and upcoming spin-off titles. The ROUND Ichimonji Campaign, announced in June and running from July 17 to October 18, 2026, ties the Fukuoka Ichimonji sword group to the bowling and karaoke chain ROUND1 through a pun on the word 'one.' The campaign includes collaboration menus, packs, bowling events with recorded voice by Shunichi Kojima, and limited merchandise at 93 locations nationwide. A separate announcement from Round One confirmed the same dates and a key visual featuring Fukuoka Ichimonji, Mikazuki Munechika, and the initial sword, with a catchphrase linking the chain's name to the character.

Also in June, the Shutsujin! J.League Ouen Honmaru project named 20 sword warriors as cheer captains for all 20 J1 clubs for the 2026/27 season, with illustrations by lack. The collaboration opened a special site and began advance goods sales, with stadium events starting in October. Bandai Spirits released the second and third waves of its Chibigurumi plush toy series as prize items on June 23, adding ten characters including Mikazuki Munechika and Yamatonokami Yasusada, with fourth and fifth waves planned for August 2026.

In July, EXNOA added the great tachi Momotaro Sukesada to Touken Ranbu ONLINE through a collaboration campaign tied to pre-registration for Touken Ranbu Puzzgiri. Players can obtain a Special Exchange Ticket from a designated page to guarantee the sword. The voice actor and implementation date have not been announced.
