Prime 1 Studio has opened global pre-orders for its new Prisma Wing Glass Edition figure of Ram from Re:Zero - Starting Life in Another World. It will release and ship the new figure worldwide in January 2026.

The set will practically have a 1/7 scale figure of Ram sitting on a drinking glass. The overall height will be roughly 24cm (~9.45 inches), which is measured from the base of the glass to the tip of Ram's head. Prime 1 Studio is also offering a Bonus Version that will come with a swappable alternate head part that shows Ram with a very happy facial expression.

The Bonus Version figure will be available worldwide at $190. People who want the figure will only need to pay $19 as a deposit upon placing an order. They will have to pay the remaining $171 with additional shipping costs once Prime 1 Studio has finished producing the figure and is ready to ship the package.

The more recently revealed Ram will complement the similar figures for Rem and Echidna, whom Prime 1 Studio is producing earlier. The studio will release Rem's figure first in July 2025, and Echidna will be the second to arrive in October 2025.

The Prisma Wing Glass Edition figure of Ram from Re:Zero - Starting Life in Another World will be available worldwide in January 2026. The third season of the franchise's anime adaptation is still ongoing as of February 2025.

The Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- collaboration event in Goddess of Victory: Nikke will start on March 21, 2024. You will be able to get Emilia, Rem, and Ram.

Aside from the starting date and playable characters, there is not much information for the collaboration event. More information may appear on the date of its debut, or closer to March 21. However, we can use past events to gauge how the Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- event might work in Goddess of Victory: Nikke. Previous events sometimes had giveaways on Twitter (X), as well as a free character which you could obtain as a reward after fulfilling certain conditions.

The Goddess of Victory: Nikke Twitter teased this collaboration on March 12, 2024. The color scheme of the picture, as well as the unique alternating usage of bold text, matched the logo for Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World-. At the time, however, it did not state what characters would appear for this collaboration. Previous events for Goddess of Victory: Nikke, such as with NieR Automata and Chainsaw Man, only added female characters though. So playing as Subaru in this was never in the cards.

Goddess of Victory: Nikke is available on the Windows PC and mobile devices. The Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- collaboration event will start from March 21, 2024.

A new external franchise crossover is coming to Goddess of Victory: NIKKE for a crossover, and there is a high probability that the title will be Re:Zero -Starting Life in Another World-. NIKKE's official Japanese X shared a new tweet that teases the new event.

The tweet included a short synopsis that acts as one of the hints for the new crossover. It said that dwellers from another world have appeared suddenly in NIKKE's universe.

A couple of elements in the teaser image strongly hint that the new franchise in question will be Re:Zero. The alternating usage of bold text in the subtitle (まもなく始まる新コラボ) very closely resembles Re:Zero's Japanese title (Re:ゼロから始める異世界生活). The purple color scheme in this image also matches that of the franchise's title and its primary heroine Emilia.

The NIKKE crossover teaser tweet is also available to view below:

Regardless of whether the franchise will be Re:Zero or not, it will be a new major external franchise to contribute crossover content for Goddess of Victory: NIKKE. Shift Up has previously held collaborations with NieR:Automata and Chainsaw Man in 2023.

Goddess of Victory: NIKKE is available on Android and iOS mobile devices, as well as Windows PCs.

Furyu Hobby Mall opened pre-orders for F:NEX Re:Zero Ram and Rem figures. However, they're a bit different than usual. While both characters are wearing their traditional maid uniforms, they're also armed with guns and military equipment. They both will ship out in March 2024. Each one is ¥23,650 (~$164), and they are made-to-order figures.

These Ram and Rem figures are designed to be posed alone or together. Each one is a 1/7th scale model. Ram is 200mm tall (almost 8 inches), while her twin sister is 160mm (just over 6 inches). Both are equipped with guns, wearing headsets, and have accessories to hold additional equipment. Both are static figures with no additional faceplates or parts for different poses.

This is how the two figures look alone:

And here's how the two look when posed together:

The last figures of the twins to appear involved more peaceful poses. We'll see ones of Ram and Rem holding versions of themselves as children later in 2023 worldwide.

The Furyu F:NEX Re:Zero Ram and Rem military figures will appear in March 2024. People outside of Japan can order them via Buyee. Pre-orders are open until September 1, 2023. The anime adaptation is available to stream via Crunchyroll. Yen Press handles the light novels and manga outside of Japan.

Good Smile Company announced it will be selling the Sega S-Fire Re:Zero Emilia and Ram figures. Both are a part of a line that involves characters from the series carrying versions of themselves as children. Both are apparently heading to Japan in October 2023. They’ll then show up in North America in Q4 2023. Each one will be ¥22,000/$154.99.

Both Emilia and Ram are 1/7th scale figures. Emilia is slightly taller, as she’s about 240mm, which is about 9 and a half inches. Ram stands at 230mm, and that makes her about nine inches tall. Each one features outfits inspired by their adult selves in the series for the older versions of the character, while the child versions of Emilia and Ram wear outfits they’d worn as kids in Re:Zero.

Here's a closer look at the Emilias.

And this is how the two versions of Ram look.
[gallery size="full" ids="957370,957371,957372" link="file"]

These are the second and third Re:Zero figures in this series, as Rem appeared ahead of Emilia and Ram. She'll also appear in stores ahead of both. She's expected to show up in Japan in September 2023 and North America in November 2023.

As a reminder, another Re:Zero game is in the works. Re:Zero Witch’s Re:surrection is in development and will appear on mobile devices in Japan. In case you missed it, here’s the first trailer for it.

Mobile game Re:Zero Lost in Memories is shutting down. Sega announced that the game would end service on May 12, 2023 in Japan. The shutdown comes about 2 years and 8 months after the game first launched in Japan in September 2020. [Thanks, Game Watch!]

Sega didn't specify the exact reason for the closure of Re:Zero Lost in Memories, but did remark that it made the decision to end service after it concluded that "it would be difficulty to provide satisfying service to customers in the future."

As of February 28, 2023, all purchases of the currency were suspended. On the same day as closure of the game on May 12, 2023, Sega will begin accepting refunds.

Additional changes to the game will make things a bit easier for current players. Drop rates for characters, free currency, and progression materials will be boosted. New events and reruns of old events, as well as bonuses and other promotions, will be held from March until the end of service.

Re:Zero Lost in Memories is based on Re:Zero - Starting Life in Another World, the light novel series written by Tappei Nagatsuki. The story follows Subaru Natsuki, a shut-in NEET who is suddenly summoned to a fantasy world. He is almost immediately killed upon arriving, and comes back to life some time later, discovering he has the ability to rewind time after his death. He uses his time-shifting ability to help others and himself. The series has been adapted into multiple manga and anime, as well as video games.

Re:Zero Lost in Memories is available on iOS and Android devices in Japan and select regions. It will shut down service on May 12, 2023.

People will see double with the latest Good Smile Company Re:Zero Rem figure. It announced an S-Fire Rem that features her holding herself as a child. It will come to Japan in September 2023. The North American release will follow in November 2023. It will cost ¥22,000/$163.99.

Both outfits are period-accurate in this 1/7th scale figure. The adult version of Rem is wearing her normal maid uniform. Meanwhile, the child version of her self is wearing the same kimono she did in the Oni village where she grew up. It will be about nine inches tall. Also, as an S-Fire figure, it is designed to look both “vibrant” and realistic.

Here's a closer look at Rem and... Rem.
[gallery columns="5" size="full" ids="949460,949461,949462,949463,949464" link="file"]

Rem, as well as her twin sister Ram, is a common subject when it comes to figures of characters from the series. There are SD figures, for example. Nendoroid and Nendoroid Dolls also showed up. There are also life-size figures of her in a maid uniform or kimono.

The Re:Zero figure of Rem holding a child version of herself will appear in September 2023 in Japan and November 2023 in North America. Pre-orders are open until March 23, 2023. The Re:Zero -Starting Life in Another World- anime is available on Crunchyroll, while Yen Press handled the light novel and manga adaptations.

Good Smile Company revealed new Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- figures are on the way, and this time they are Nendoroid Dolls of the twins Ram and Rem. Each one arrives wearing her maid uniform. Both of them also include a hand part that allows the sisters to hold hands. They will appear in Japan in August 2023 and in North America in November 2023. They will cost $58.99/¥8,900 each. People can also purchase the outfit alone for $35.99/¥5,400.

As Nendoroid Doll releases function differently than typical Nendoroids, these Re:Zero figures don’t come with as many extras. Both the Ram and Rem ones each come with one face plate. There are no extra accessories for them to hold. However, they do come with three different kinds of hands. There’s a pair with them open, another pair with them pointing, and a final part that makes it look like they are holding hands. You also get the full maid outfit, which comes with the dress, its collar, a bustier to go around it, arm covers for each arm, knee-high socks, underwear, and a pair of shoes. These shoes are magnetic and work with the included magnetic base to help with posing. There is also a magnetic articulated stand to help hold each character up.

Here's a closer look at the Ram and Rem Re:Zero Nendoroid Dolls together.

And this is what the outfit looks like alone. It is compatible with all Nendoroid Doll figures.

The Re:Zero Ram and Rem Nendoroid Dolls will appear in August 2023 in Japan and November 2023 in North America. Pre-orders are open for the figures and outfit until November 23, 2022.

More Re:Zero Ram and Rem dolls are on the way. This time, they will be part of the Good Smile Company Harmonia humming line. Each one of the twins will eventually show up. However, Rem will appear ahead of her sister in December 2022 in Japan and February 2023 in North America. Ram will launch in January 2023 in Japan and March 2023 in North America. Each one will cost $300.99/¥30,000.

Good Smile Company's Harmonia humming line involves ball-ted dolls. Each one's eyes, wig, and outfit can be swapped and changed. Both the Ram and Rem dolls both come in their matching maid outfits. Each one wears a wig that matches their style from the Re:Zero series.

Here's a closer look at Ram.

Yen Press revealed several new releases during NYCC 2021, including a new Sword Art Online art book and a Re:Zero manga. Sword Art Online abec Artworks: Wanderers is the latest art book from illustrator abec. Meanwhile, Re:Zero: The Frozen Bond is a manga adaptation of the OVA series. No release dates or windows accompanied the announcements.

Sword Art Online abec Artworks: Wanderers first appeared in Japan in March 2020. Its focus is on Alicization and Sword Art Online Progressive. Though people familiar with Sword Art Online: Alicization Lycoris might see familiar faces there, as it includes art from games too. In Japan, it also featured the bonus side story called "prismatic colors" by Kawahara Reki.

Re:Zero: The Frozen Bond is a prequel looking at Emilia's youth. (As such, there might be spoilers if you aren't familiar with her original adventures in the main story.) That tale first appeared as a short story before becoming an anime and manga. People can see the English anime adaptation on Crunchyroll. Yen Press has also published other Re:Zero works, including the original light novels and manga.

Here are the tentative covers for both works. Neither is finalized at this time.

Cygames and Citail announced a new World Flipper collab with Re:Zero for January 2021. The special event will feature crossover characters, an exclusive storyline, and exclusive rewards for players. The collaboration will start on January 16 and run through January 30, 2021 (Thanks, Dengeki!).

The limited-time World Flipper collab will feature Re:Zero Starting Life in Another World. Cygames and Citail revealed details and character images ahead of the event's launch. The exclusive story is called "Isekai no Ryuuritan" (rough translation: "Folktale from Another World"). Those who participate in the event will receive an exclusive four-star Subaru Natsuki. Here is the list of characters in the event and their illustrations.

• Subaru Natsuki (Voice Actor: Yusuke Kobayashi)
• Emilia (Voice Actor: Rie Takahashi)

• Ram (Voice Actor: Rie Murakawa)

World Flipper is a pinball action-RPG with a pixel art aesthetic. The game released on Android and iOS devices in Japan back in November 2019. The game will be localized for the west by Kakao Games. However, the last we heard was a general 2021 release window. The latest World Flipper collab combines two niche properties together, so we can only hope the event will reappear in the future after the English-language version of the game releases.

Spike Chunsoft released a new trailer highlighting the characters we'll see in Re:Zero: The Prophecy of the Throne. It includes several key characters from the series who will appear in a brand-new Re:Zero story for PS4, Switch, and PC.

Check out the new trailer featuring characters from Re:Zero - Starting Life in Another World: The Prophecy of the Throne below:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIwcma6gc4E

After about a month of living in another world, Subaru learns that the Royal Selection has been delayed. This event decides on the next ruler of the Kingdom of Lugnica, but nobody knows why it was postponed. Upon returning to the royal capital, a sixth candidate appears to claim their stake for the throne. According to the prophecy, there should only be five candidates, so that makes one of them an imposter. However, things take a turn when all suspicions are immediately cast towards Emilia.

The game features an original storyline that is fully-supervised by series author Tappei Nagatsuki. Additionally, it features new characters designed by the original artist Shinichirou Otsuka.

Re:Zero - Starting Life in Another World: The Prophecy of the Throne will release for the PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam. It will appear in North America on January 29, 2021, and in Europe on February 5, 2021.

In Re:Zero – Starting Life in Another World: The Prophecy of the Throne, there’s a whole new person to meet. The NGPX 2020 trailer for the game offered a few quick peeks at the heroine. Now, Spike Chunsoft has offered an even clearer look at Re:Zero’s Melty. She’s the new potential candidate to take Lugunica’s throne.

A character portrait hasn’t been revealed for Melty yet. However, she is dressed as a nun. (Subaru later confirms this as her profession.) In one of her initial screenshots, she mentions she is “from the countryside.” She seems to be a bit intimidated by Lugunica. It also seems like she might be the sort of person who wants to others, as Subaru and her both seem to be rooting for Emilia in two screenshots.

As a reminder, both the standard Day One Edition and Collector’s Edition of Re:Zero – Starting Life in Another World: The Prophecy of the Throne include a set of pins of the major characters. While Subaru, Emilia, and Rem’s had been revealed before, it wasn’t until NGPX that we got a look at the Re:Zero Melty pin.

Re:Zero: The Prophecy of the Throne will come to the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PC in Winter 2020.

Sega announced that it is releasing a new mobile game for Re:Zero - Starting Life in Another World in 2020. In addition to the main story, the game will have "what if" stories plus a brand-new original story supervised by Re:Zero writer Tappei Nagatsuki.

In the Re:Zero - Starting Life in Another World mobile game, we'll see moments such as "What if he made a different choice at that time" and other experiences as part of the "what if" stories. We don't know much about the new and original story, but we'll find out more in the near future.

Gameplay consists of creating parties using your favorite Re:Zero characters. It features battles, character training, and more.

In addition to Re:Zero's main story, the game features new stories that deviate based on player choices. These "what if" stories were also supervised by Re:Zero writer Tappei Nagatsuki. The game will show the different bonds with Subaru and the other characters had he made different choices or met under different circumstances.

Re:Zero - Starting Life in Another World (tentative) will release for iOS and Android in Japan in 2020. It will be free-to-play with micro-transactions. Sega will share more information on the game later via its official website and Twitter . Re:Zero hasn't had many video games, but it did get a VR smartphone app that lets you rest on Rem's lap or Emilia's lap a couple of years ago. A PS4 and PS Vita visual novel called Re:Zero-Starting Life in Another World- Death or Kiss released in March 2017.
