The staff describes the story:
The aftermath of the Great War scarred the world with a terrible legacy: the Lost Tech.
Caches of powerful war machines buried beneath the earth, forgotten after the end of the conflict.
Because of the terrible history of these weapons, the Kingdom of Artemisia refuses to seek out or use them. However, one commander, Major Nathan Gries, begins to believe that the only way to keep the world safe from the Lost Tech is to locate and secure them, to prevent them from falling into enemy hands.
Then one day, he receives an emergency message:
“Emergency transmission from the White Fangs. An unknown signal has been detected beneath the Northridge Alps–“Faced with Lost Tech, Major Nathan Gries, Lord General Isoroku Tsukumo, and Wolfram, leader of the White Fangs, will face a new test.
Kobayashi (CGI director of Rebuild of Evangelion films) is directing the anime at SAFEHOUSE (Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance).
SAFEHOUSE is also animating cinematics for the upcoming Tiny Metal 2 game.
Yūsuke Kozaki (Fire Emblem) is the character designer. Kozaki did a live drawing for the upcoming game’s new character Lysandra Echo at the Tiny Metal panel at Japan Expo.

The Tiny Metal 2 sequel is scheduled for release on PC via Steam in spring 2027. The game was initially announced to launch in 2026.
