At the "Tokyo Game Show 2024" at Makuhari Messe in Chiba, a pilot trailer for the anime DARK MACHINE -The Animation- was unveiled! Initially presented at San Diego Comic-Con, this trailer will be released worldwide at a later date. The new clip combines previously unseen scenes with footage from the previous trailer, offering a captivating glimpse of this highly anticipated production.

The game Dark Machine is an "Asynchronous Big Team Arena Shooter" featuring destructible mechs across two parallel universes: Light and Shadow. The official release is scheduled for 2025, with early access beginning in 2024. The project brings together talents such as Kazumi Terada (director), Goro Taniguchi (creative producer), and Hidetaka Tenjin (mech designer).

The story takes place in 2079, when humanity survives thanks to an energy bubble generated by the Palmer Crystal, discovered by Dr. Robert Palmer. Although this energy is abundant, not everyone benefits from it, leading to clandestine battles for control. Factory robots then transform into combat mechs and fight each other in a setting where the crystal’s dark energy could shift the balance of power.
