'Girls' Frontline' Marks 10th Anniversary, Unveils Two New Titles to Lead the Next Decade

Sunborn Network held a carnival today (the 2nd) at the National Exhibition and Convention Center in Shanghai to celebrate the 10th anniversary of its flagship title, 'Girls' Frontline.' The first half of the event featured a festival in Halls 1 and 2, themed around games released by Sunborn Network, including Girls' Frontline, Neural Cloud, Reverse Collapse, and Girls' Frontline 2. Starting at 6:30 PM, a concert was held in the main hall, featuring soundtracks from each game performed by the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra, Vanguard Sound, and the Shanghai Opera House Choir.

Meanwhile, Producer Yuzhong made surprise appearances during the concert's intermission and finale. During the intermission, he reflected on the founding of Sunborn Network ten years ago and the period before the launch of Girls' Frontline, sharing his thoughts on the 10th anniversary. In the finale, he outlined future update directions for 'Girls' Frontline 2' and unveiled two new projects.

First, Girls' Frontline 2 will introduce a new play mode. Unlike the existing 'Phase Collision,' which transitioned into SRPG-style combat via assassination kills or encounters, this new mode features real-time quarter-view shooting. In addition to announcing new tactical dolls and collaborations with various IPs—starting with 'B-Robo Kabutack'—a major event is planned for the summer of 2026.

Following this, two new titles were unveiled: 'Girls' Frontline: Contract of the Blue Butterfly' and 'Reverse Collapse: F.' 'Girls' Frontline: Contract of the Blue Butterfly' is a new project from the Hecate team, the developers of 'Fire Control,' and features 4-player cooperative TPS combat involving tactical dolls from the Girls' Frontline series. In a world where virtual and reality blur, players must cooperate to overcome challenges. Unlike the strategy-focused RPGs Sunborn Network has primarily released, this title focuses on the fun of real-time combat against waves of enemies through role-sharing with other players.

The second title, 'Reverse Collapse: F,' is a new project utilizing Unreal Engine 5. It depicts the journey of survivors—including humans, tactical dolls, and Shrike—searching for a final hope in a world pushed to the brink of destruction after the Antarctic War, as they explore regions distorted by collapse and anomalous phenomena. The game aims for a realistic ACG-style TPS that hybrids NPR and PBR, and it plans to unfold a vast story through 4-player co-op TPS gameplay and TRPG-style global narratives.

'Girls' Frontline: Contract of the Blue Butterfly' is scheduled for release in 2026, while 'Reverse Collapse: F' is set for 2028. Further details on both titles will be released through separate channels in the future.
