DanMachi: Frontier Zero Announced for PC and Mobile

Japanese developer enish has announced Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? Frontier Zero, a brand new DanMachi game for iOS, Android and PC that is set for a worldwide release in 2027. The reveal came through the official X account on October 22, 2026, alongside an official announcement from enish confirming a game original main story created with the cooperation of series creator Fujino Omori.

A story no fan has seen before

The headline detail is the story. Frontier Zero does not retell the light novels or the anime. According to the official announcement from enish, players get a game original main story made with the cooperation of Fujino Omori, and it covers events that were never depicted in the original work or the anime. For a franchise that has already explored side stories such as Sword Oratoria, a completely new tale set in the world of Orario gives long time fans a reason to pay attention and gives newcomers a clean entry point that does not demand homework.

Shortened to DanZero on its official X account, the project is positioned as the latest DanMachi game rather than a remake or a port. A Pocket Gamer report on the reveal notes that enish has shared almost nothing beyond the story setup and the 2027 window, so the studio is holding back its bigger cards for the months ahead.

Platforms and worldwide release

enish lists iOS, Android and PC as the supported platforms, with multi platform development and distribution planned for Japan and overseas. That combination points to a smartphone centered release that also reaches PC players, a pattern that has worked well for anime RPGs that want both a broad mobile audience and a home for players who prefer a larger screen. The company has not announced a specific season or date inside 2027, and pricing and monetization details remain unconfirmed.

The global angle matters. Rather than a Japan first launch with an overseas version to follow, enish says the game is planned for Japan and overseas from the start. Fans outside Japan have been burned by region locked anime games before, so a day one worldwide plan is likely to land well with the international DanMachi community.

A franchise with serious momentum

Frontier Zero arrives while DanMachi is celebrating a milestone decade. The light novels by Fujino Omori have passed 20 million copies in circulation, and the anime marked ten years on air in April 2025. The television run stretches from the first season in 2015 through DanMachi V in late 2024, and a sixth season was announced during the tenth anniversary event in February 2026. The franchise has also branched into the Sword Oratoria spinoff anime and a theatrical film with a story written by Omori, which shows how comfortable this series is with telling new stories in new formats.

That history makes an original game story feel like a natural fit. Omori has written new material beyond the main novels before, and his direct cooperation here suggests Frontier Zero is meant to stand as a genuine chapter of the DanMachi world rather than a throwaway tie in.

What enish has not shown yet

Almost everything about how the game plays is still under wraps. The genre, the combat system, the playable cast and the art style have not been revealed, and no gameplay footage or screenshots beyond the announcement visuals have been released. enish says new information will arrive through the official X account in the run up to launch, so that feed is the one to watch for the first trailers and system details.

Fans of anime RPGs on mobile have plenty to compare against while they wait, from the recent KonoSuba mobile RPG to the wave of 2027 anime game announcements heading to PC. The question is where Frontier Zero positions itself, as a story driven adventure, a party battler or something built for long term live service play.

A fresh start after Battle Chronicle

Frontier Zero also follows the end of the previous DanMachi mobile game. DanMachi Battle Chronicle ended service in September 2025, closing a chapter that our own DanMachi Battle Chronicle shutdown coverage followed at the time. A new title with an original story gives enish a clean slate and gives players who lost that game a new home in Orario.

Whether Frontier Zero can hold an audience for years will depend on the gameplay loop and the live operations plan, both still unknown. But the foundation is strong, a proven developer in the anime game space, the original author involved in the story, and a global multi platform launch. A Gematsu report on the reveal echoes the same thin but promising detail set, which means every future trailer will carry real weight.
