Orario just got a whole lot bigger! Forget just watching Bell’s adventures – a brand-new DanMachi game is on the horizon, DanMachi: Frontier Zero, and it promises a completely original story crafted with series author Fujino Omori himself! This isn’t just a retread; it’s uncharted territory in the Dungeon, and we are hyped.
A Whole New Orario Awaits
The biggest news out of the gate is that Frontier Zero isn’t just rehashing existing arcs. Series author Fujino Omori is actively cooperating on an entirely new main story, one you won’t find in the light novels or the anime. This is massive for DanMachi fans! No more simply reliving Bell Cranel’s past exploits; we’re talking fresh lore, unexpected character dynamics, and potentially a deeper dive into the rich world of Orario that only Omori himself could provide. Will we see untold tales of the Hestia Familia, or perhaps entirely new adventurers rising through the ranks? The possibilities are endless when the creator is at the helm of an original narrative.
What ‘Frontier Zero’ Could Mean
The name itself, “Frontier Zero,” sparks immediate speculation. Does “Frontier” imply exploring new, previously unseen parts of the Dungeon, or even areas beyond Orario? And “Zero” – does it hint at a prequel, delving into the earliest days of Orario, the formation of the Familias, or perhaps even a narrative that precedes Bell’s arrival? Until enish drops the first trailer, we’re left to imagine. Could we play as a young Finn Deimne, a burgeoning Ais Wallenstein, or even a brand-new protagonist whose journey unfolds in parallel to Bell’s? The anticipation for these reveals is going to be a fun, torturous wait.
Release Window & Platforms
Mark your calendars (or at least your mental timelines)! DanMachi: Frontier Zero is slated for a 2027 release in Japan and overseas. It’s coming to iOS, Android, and PC, ensuring a wide reach for adventurers no matter their preferred platform. Developer enish has confirmed they’ll be drip-feeding details through the game’s official X account, so keep those notification bells rung for character reveals, story hints, and hopefully, some first-look gameplay as we get closer to launch.

Visual Vibes
While no gameplay footage has been revealed, we can anticipate Frontier Zero will stay true to the vibrant, dynamic aesthetic that defines the DanMachi anime. Expect lush, detailed renditions of Orario’s bustling streets and the terrifying, yet captivating, depths of the Dungeon. We’re hoping for sharp, anime-accurate character models that capture the expressive charm of Bell, the stern beauty of Ais, and the fiery personality of Hestia, complemented by fluid battle animations that make each skill burst with power. Think high-fidelity character art akin to the recent mobile game, but potentially with an even grander scale given Omori’s original story.
Why We’re Hyped
This isn’t just another tie-in game; it’s an expansion of the DanMachi universe guided by its original architect. With the anime franchise still soaring (Season 5 just wrapped up the intense Freya Familia arc, and Season 6 is confirmed!), Frontier Zero arrives at a perfect time, keeping the excitement alive and offering fans a fresh, interactive way to dive deeper into Orario. The community is buzzing with theories about the timeline, potential new characters, and what kind of original challenges Omori has cooked up. The promise of an untouched narrative, combined with the convenience of mobile and PC platforms, makes DanMachi: Frontier Zero one of our most anticipated game releases. Get ready to forge your own legend!
