The premise
Dust of the Simulacrum (2026)
In a forgotten virtual world, those who have discovered that they were created as mere programs live in constant fear of the "Bugs" consuming their world. Wandering through this fading realm, a nameless girl encounters a traveler who carries the only gun capable of resisting the Bugs. As they fight against the relentless corruption, they continue searching for meaning in a world they know to be artificial. And as the end of their world draws near, the girl comes upon a single "prayer". This is the story of beings born as fiction who, despite knowing their fate, never stopped searching for a reason to live.
It shares its release window with The Odyssey, so expect the two fanbases to be reacting side by side.
It hits the big screen on July 18, 2026.
