After more than a year of silence, the team behind Anime Adventures broke cover with an official statement on their Discord server, and the message was blunt: the game has not been abandoned. The same announcement introduced a new, officially licensed project and doubled down on shutting down unofficial copies of the original tower defense game.
Quick answer: Anime Adventures is still in active development. The original developers confirmed work is ongoing, revealed a licensed spin-off called TenSura: Isekai Adventures, and issued a DMCA takedown against the unauthorized remake Re:Adventures.
Anime Adventures is still in development
The September 25, 2024 Discord post was the team’s first major communication in over 18 months. It directly addressed the growing belief that the developers had walked away from the game, calling that idea “the exact opposite” of their intentions. They said work on Anime Adventures is continuing and asked players to stay patient a while longer.
The wording matters because it frames a specific goal. The developers said they have been working “towards a great outcome for AA and saving it in the long term, not in the quick short term.” In practice, that points to fixing the licensing problems that pulled the game offline in the first place, rather than rushing a temporary relaunch.
The original game still exists as a playable build on Roblox, including an April Fool’s version, and it continues to attract players wandering the Neo-Tokyo lobby, claiming daily login rewards, and inspecting old mythic units like Carrot (Ultra), Griffin (Ascension), and Shinobi (Eternal).
The team also stated that all genuine news, including anything about future games, will only appear on their official Gomu YouTube channel. That is the single reliable place to confirm anything claimed elsewhere.
TenSura: Isekai Adventures, the licensed spin-off
The headline reveal from the announcement was TenSura: Isekai Adventures, a tower defense game based on That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime. It was built using Roblox’s License Manager, meaning it is officially approved and shares revenue with Japanese publisher Kodansha. The game was shown at Roblox’s RDC 2024 conference before the developers shared an early-build sneak peek.
The announcement trailer opens on the series’ familiar blue slime hopping through a medieval fantasy town before the game shifts into wave-based combat.
Gameplay footage shows deployed characters firing elemental attacks, area-of-effect blasts, and magical barriers against monster waves in a stage called Great Jura Forest – Act 1.
The trailer also details the systems built around that combat, which will feel familiar to Anime Adventures veterans:
- A unit collection featuring Rimuru (Gluttony), Shion (Royal Guard), Milim (Dragon Princess), Benimaru, and Shizu
- Trait rolling, including a Satanael (Lord of Wrath) roll shown on screen
- A Blacksmith system for weapon enhancement and equipment upgrades
- Passive Divination cards such as Shuna’s Prayer, Enlightenment, and Parallel Calculation
- Capsule summons and unit potential rerolls
The trailer even includes an interview with a Kodansha manga editor, who praises the detail of the adaptation. That footage underlines the point the developers keep making, which is that they now want to work directly with anime and manga rights holders rather than around them.
The DMCA takedown of Re:Adventures
While confirming their own plans, the developers drew a hard line around copies. They stated they are not affiliated with, and have not authorized, any third-party remake or continuation of the game. That warning had teeth: they filed a DMCA copyright claim that took the unauthorized remake Re:Adventures offline.
The Re:Adventures team acknowledged the takedown in their own Discord. They stressed it was not an exit scam and that they did not close the game themselves. They pledged to rebuild the copyrighted assets and bring the project back, promising that player gamepasses and data would be preserved when it returns.
Re://Adventures, the rebuilt fan relaunch
A separate, remade relaunch surfaced under the name Re://Adventures, published by SlowBlox Studios. It is an unofficial fan project, not connected to the original developers, and it presents itself as a playable relaunch of Anime Adventures from scratch.
Creators who have played it describe the build as an early-state revert, sometimes called “update zero,” layered with quality-of-life additions rather than a fully caught-up version. Loading into the Neo-Tokyo lobby brings up an Update Log (20.4.1): Fool’s Hunt pop-up, and the build restores old unit models and lobby music.
What players report finding in that build sets clear expectations about its limits:
| Present | Missing or not live |
|---|---|
| Quick summon, fast spin, auto sell | Raids, dungeons, legend stages |
| Trait filter and limit-break-style system | Fool’s Hunt NPC |
| Battle pass, crafting, codes, challenges | Full story list (only four stages, up to Sand Village) |
Re://Adventures is a fan-made project. Only the developers’ own channel confirms genuine Anime Adventures news, so treat any relaunch that is not posted there as unofficial.
The return teaser and what remains unconfirmed
The developers later followed up with a teaser trailer titled “???”, accompanied by a message that the game is “NOT the end.” That teaser hinted at multiple new stages and units, a fresh lobby, and a winter theme, and the team again urged players to be patient while promising to push the quality bar higher.
An exact return date has not been officially locked down. The teaser pointed toward a holiday-season comeback with a Christmas-style update, but the developers did not commit to a firm date and time in their own posts. Anything more specific circulating outside their official channel should be treated as speculation until the team confirms it directly.
For now, the picture is consistent across everything the developers have said. The original Anime Adventures is being reworked with proper licensing behind it, TenSura: Isekai Adventures is the first fruit of that approach, and unofficial copies remain firmly off-limits.
