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

MICA Team 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 across Halls 1 and 2, themed around games released by MICA Team, 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 OSTs from each game performed by the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra, Vanguard Sound, and the Shanghai Opera House Chorus.

Meanwhile, Producer Yuzhong made surprise appearances during the concert's intermission and finale. During the intermission, he reflected on the founding of MICA Team ten years ago and the period before the launch of Girls' Frontline, sharing his thoughts on the 10-year milestone. In the finale, he revealed future update directions for 'Girls' Frontline 2' and announced two new titles.

First, Girls' Frontline 2 will introduce a new play mode. Unlike the existing 'Phase Collision,' which transitioned into SRPG-style combat via assassination or encounters, this new mode features real-time quarter-view shooting. Additionally, the team announced the addition of new Tactical Dolls, collaborations with various IPs starting with 'B-Robo Kabutack,' and a major event scheduled 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.' It is a 4-player cooperative TPS that brings the combat of Tactical Dolls from the Girls' Frontline series to life. In a world where virtual and reality blur, players must cooperate with teammates to overcome challenges. Unlike the strategy-focused RPGs MICA Team has primarily released, this title focuses on the fun of role-sharing and fighting off waves of enemies in real-time.

The second title, 'Reverse Collapse: F,' is a new game built with Unreal Engine 5. Set in a world on the brink of collapse following the Antarctic War, it depicts the journey of survivors—including humans, Tactical Dolls, and Shrike—as they explore regions distorted by Collapse fluid and strange phenomena in search of a final hope. 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.
