Square Enix revealed a new “fan movie,” SINoALICE Ichiban Saigo no Monogatari (The Last Story), set to premiere in Japan on February 23. The film, teasing “the end of SINoALICE’s story,” follows Alice, a real-world player, as she navigates the game’s challenges, intertwining her despair and the game’s characters’ determination to confront the impending finale.
Takuto Aoki, known for the game’s manga adaptation, takes the directorial helm for the film, with ILCA handling production. The musical composition is entrusted to Keiichi Okabe and MONACA, while the original game’s cast reprise their roles.
In June 2017, Square Enix launched the SINoALICE mobile action role-playing game for iOS and Android in Japan. Pokelabo Inc. introduced the English global version in July 2020. However, Square Enix concluded the game’s service for Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau in November 2022, featuring a distinctive ending that mandated players to log out permanently upon completion.

SINoALICE offers a chilling reinterpretation of classic fairy tales set in an unsettling dark fantasy realm, drawing inspiration from the game’s creative director, Yokō Tarō (NieR:Automata).
