On May 12, 2025, Total Licensing posted a comprehensible preview for some of the top IPs to check out at the Licensing Expo between May 20 to 22, 2025, at Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas.

In the preview, Total Licensing revealed how Japanese licensing company REMOW had been developing a high-profile project co-produced with Shueisha.

While neither REMOW nor Shueisha has revealed the title, it has been confirmed that the anime will be based on a beloved manga from Weekly Shonen Jump that ended about 15 years ago. Moreover, the listing also confirmed that the series ranks among the top fan-requested titles for animation.

Given that Toshiaki Iwashiro's Psyren manga ended in November 2010, the description fit perfectly with the supernatural sci-fi manga. So, while it has yet to be officially confirmed, fans have started looking forward to the anime adaptation.

Amidst this, the popular, trusted anime leaker on X (formerly Twitter) @SugoiLITE has also confirmed that the Psyren TV anime adaptation is currently in production. Additionally, the leaker has reported that the anime has been scheduled for 2026.
