The strategy game »Tiny Metal« is receiving an anime adaptation. The project is titled »Tiny Metal: Zero Line« and was first presented to the public at Japan Expo 2026 in Paris. On July 9, 2026, the pilot film celebrated its world premiere there, accompanied by a teaser trailer and a key visual.
The anime is being directed by Hiroyasu Kobayashi, who previously worked as a CGI director on the »Rebuild of Evangelion« films. The animation is handled by Studio SAFEHOUSE, which is also responsible for »Mobile Suit Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance«. The character design comes from Yusuke Kozaki (»Fire Emblem«) and Go Takahashi. The music is composed by Yuu Miyake, Jessica Mao, and Go Shiina, the composer known from the games.
The voice cast includes Toshiyuki Toyonaga as Major Nathan Gries, Mikako Komatsu as Wolfram, Riho Kuma as Nora Godwin, and Kenjiro Tsuda as Lord General Isoroku Tsukumo. Further roles have not yet been announced.
The story takes place decades after a devastating Great War. The so-called »Lost Tech« – powerful war machines – lies buried underground. While the Kingdom of Artemisia rejects the use of this technology, Major Nathan Gries is convinced that the only way to protect the world is to secure the artifacts. When the White Fang unit discovers a mysterious signal beneath the Northridge Alps, a dangerous mission begins for Gries, Tsukumo, and Wolfram.
The anime serves as a bridge between the first game from 2017 and the upcoming title »Tiny Metal 2«, which is set to be released in spring 2027 for PC (Steam). The anime itself is expected to start in spring 2027. The format (series or film) has not yet been definitively confirmed, and the production is entirely in CGI based on the Unreal Engine.
Further details on episode count and streaming partners are still pending. The official website and YouTube channel of Tiny Metal keep fans updated.
