CyberAgent and CygamesPictures announced that they are producing a brand new original anime series. Apocalypse Hotel is set in a post-apocalyptic world where humanity has been essentially wiped out, and nature is reclaiming planet earth. However, one historical hotel has remained standing. It will presumably play host to the events of the series.
"Apocalypse Hotel" Set to Air in 2025
Both the official announcement of Apocalypse Hotel and a very brief teaser trailer featuring some concept art and the opening song are available on the new official website and X (formerly Twitter) account for the series. Apocalypse Hotel is currently set to be released some time in 2025, though no official release date has been announced yet.
Very little information is known about the plot or characters at this time. No voice actors have been announced yet, either. An early list of staff members include Izumi Takemoto as Original Character Designer. Series Composition is by Shigeru Murakoshi. An opening song has also been confirmed, which will be “skirt” by Japanese singer aiko, which became available on her new album as of August 28th.
About Cygames Pictures, the Company Behind the Creation of the Show
CygamesPictures is a subsidiary of CyGames. CyGames is the Japanese video game developer behind Uma Musume Pretty Derby, an incredibly popular mobile game. The anime studio has been releasing content since 2017, starting with the anime short film Blade Runner Black Out 2022. Since then, they have released several series and web anime, including Manaria Friends, which was based on the company’s game Rage of Bahumat, and Princess Connect! Re:Dive, which was based on the game of the same name.
Apocalypse Hotel is not the studio’s first original anime, having produced the original mecha anime series Brave Bang Bravern! in 2024. Apocalypse Hotel will be entirely original. It will not be based on any of their gaming properties or a previously written manga.
