The first promotional video for Necronomico and the Cosmic Horror Show has been released, offering a glimpse into the high-stakes VR game that streamer Miko Kurono will enter. The series follows Miko, who streams under the handle "Necronomico," as she desperately seeks funds to cover her friend's medical bills. Her participation in a clandestine beta test for a new VR game plunges her into a terrifying battle against cosmic horrors.
Produced by Studio Gokumi, known for KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World! and Yuki Yuna is a Hero, the anime promises a blend of supernatural suspense and video game action. The trailer hints at a deadly competition where Miko and other streamers face off against Lovecraftian entities, suggesting a survival game where failure means more than just losing.
The series is set to premiere in Summer 2025 and features a cast of adult characters navigating a virtual world that blurs the line between game and reality. The connection to VTubers and the inclusion of "Old Ones" point toward a cosmic horror narrative wrapped in a modern gaming context.
