AHAVERSE has officially unveiled the first large-scale Scissor Seven mobile game, with an original action-adventure title currently in development as part of the company’s plans for the franchise’s expansion. The project was announced during the New World Premiere showcase at BilibiliWorld 2026, alongside a new feature film, spin-off animated series, publishing imprint, and live fan event.
The upcoming game will be an original action-adventure experience set in the world of Scissor Seven. Players will explore new stories featuring familiar characters while experiencing the series’ world in different ways.
Official synopsis
An original mobile action-adventure game set in the world of Scissor Seven is currently in development. Blending fast-paced action, quirky adventures, lighthearted everyday moments and the series’ signature offbeat humor, players will discover original stories, reconnect with beloved characters, and experience the world of Scissor Seven in entirely new ways.
The game is currently scheduled to launch in China during Q4 2026, while international release plans will be announced separately.
The title is one of several projects announced as AHAVERSE looks to expand Scissor Seven into a larger multimedia universe. Alongside the game, the company revealed Scissor Seven: The Movie coming 2028, the spin-off animated series HEIBAI, the new AHABOOKS publishing imprint, the Cheap-Life Hua spin-off manhua, and the annual Chicken Island Party live music event.
AHAVERSE founder and Chief IP Officer Aiken Zou describes the announcements:
“Today is not about announcing a collection of separate projects. It is about showing how stories can grow into worlds, through new characters, new adventures, and new creative voices. Our goal is to give global audiences more worlds to return to, while creating opportunities for creators to help shape the stories of tomorrow.”
First released in 2018, Scissor Seven has become one of China’s most successful original animation franchises. The series streams in more than 190 countries as the first Chinese original animation to become a Netflix Original, has attracted over 40 million fans worldwide, and has accumulated more than 30 billion views across platforms. The franchise has also expanded into comics, games, music, merchandise, and live experiences.
More About Playing in the Scissor Seven Universe
We spoke with the AHAVERSE team about the game ahead of the announcement. Asked what experience matters most for players, whether that’s feeling like Seven, living on Chicken Island, or discovering new stories, the team said:
“Ideally, all of the above. More than anything, we want players to feel like they’re genuinely living in the world of Scissor Seven.
Alongside fast-paced side-scrolling action, players will be able to experience everyday life on Chicken Island, manage their own business, interact with beloved characters and discover original canon content created specifically for the game. Because games are interactive, they allow audiences to engage with the world in ways that animation naturally can’t.
Longtime fans can also look forward to a different level of immersion, new character moments and backstories that expand the wider universe, while newcomers can simply enjoy the experience of exploring the world at their own pace.”
Scissor Seven’s comedy has always leaned heavily on timing and sudden tonal shifts, something that’s much harder to control once players are the ones driving the pace. Asked about that challenge, AHAVERSE explained:
“Games introduce a unique challenge because players control the pacing. Rather than relying on fixed editing or animation timing, we’ve had to think carefully about how humour emerges naturally through gameplay, skills, character interactions and environmental storytelling.
We hope players experience the same sense of surprise and contrast that defines the animation, while still feeling fully in control of their own adventure.”
On how closely the game and animation teams are working together, and what AHAVERSE hopes to learn from the China launch before going global, the team added:
“Our animation and game teams actually work closely together to ensure the game stays true to the story, and new content feels authentic to the world and characters, while making full use of the interactive nature of games.
The China launch will allow us to gather valuable player feedback and continue refining the overall experience before bringing it to international audiences.”
