In the action-adventure game, players will explore the world of Evangelion as an original character whose dream is to be a pilot. There will be quests and battles based on the anime’s timeline. The game will feature co-op play with characters from the series, and there will be other original characters such as NERV trainees.

Netflix began streaming the 1995 television anime in June 2019, and it describes the story:

A.D. 2015. Tokyo 3 is under attack by powerful creatures known as the Angels. The protagonist, Shinji Ikari, is chosen to pilot the Humanoid Decisive Weapon Evangelion — the only way for humanity to fight against the Angels. The battle for the fate of humanity starts now. What exactly are the Angels? What fate awaits the young pilots and humanity itself?

Evangelion: Death (True)2 is the updated 1998 edition of the 1997 compilation of the television series with some updated footage. The End of Evangelion film provided a new ending to the story in 1997.

Shout! Factory and GKIDS launched the Collector’s Edition of the Neon Genesis Evangelion television anime and the films Evangelion: Death (True)2 and The End of Evangelion in December 2021 and the Standard Edition Blu-ray Disc set in November 2021.

The franchise is getting a new series.

A new anime short premiered at the “Evangelion:30+;” festival on February 21, and officially started streaming on March 8.

The tetralogy began with Evangelion 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone in 2007, followed by Evangelion 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance and Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo in 2009 and 2012, respectively.

Sales of in-game currency have halted. Players can request refunds until the game ends service. Following the end of service, players will still be able to open the app, but they will not be able to access game content.

Tasokare Hotel -Tsubomi- launched in March 2025. It is a sequel adventure game with a new protagonist and characters, new story, and revamped game system.

SEEC‘s Tasokare Hotel game launched for iOS and Android in 2017 and has over 1.1 million downloads worldwide. A remake with new elements and features titled Tasokare Hotel Re:newal launched for iOS and Android in Japan in December 2022, and the remake game’s Steam version launched in Japan in January 2024.

The mobile game inspired a television anime on Tokyo MX in January 2025. The anime streamed on Prime Video, It’s Anime YouTube channel, Tubi, Plex App, Anime Onegai, TVING, bilibili, and Anime Key in over 100 countries and territories.

It’s Anime! describes the anime adaptation’s story:

“TASOKARE HOTEL” is a hotel that is engulfed in twilight all day long, with no distinction between day and night.

It exists as a place between life and death, where souls unable to decide whether to move on to the afterlife or return to the present world can rest their wings.

The protagonist, Neko Tsukahara, wanders into “TASOKARE HOTEL” without remembering who she is or why she’s there.

Guided by the hotel staff, she is led to her room.

“There should be items related to the customer’s memories in the room. These might serve as clues to help the customer regain their memories.”

While searching for a way to return to the present world and remembering who she is, she encounters a certain incident…

The game’s original author Benoma Ray and concept creator SEEC stated that the anime version incorporates “developments that add unique charm only possible in this medium,” and that they have “crafted a work that will bring new surprises and emotions even to fans of the original [game].”

The original game also inspired both a stage play and a webtoon.
