The upcoming Chainsaw Man smartphone game finally has an official identity. On September 19, 2026, the project's Japanese account revealed the title Chainsaw Man Devil Crush (チェンソーマン デビルクラッシュ) together with a new teaser illustration placing Chainsaw Man at the center of its visual.

The reveal marks the biggest update since the project was announced on June 19, 2026. At that point, the game had no public title, although MAPPA had already produced a dedicated opening movie featuring Maximum the Hormone's ALL THE LYNCH!! ALL THE MINCE!!.

Teaser Illustration and Opening Movie

Devil Crush Becomes the Official Name Three Months After the Initial Reveal

When the Chainsaw Man smartphone game was first announced on June 19, the official material only confirmed that the franchise was receiving a game project for smartphones.

No dedicated product title was given at the time. The game's social account also used branding centered on the general Chainsaw Man smartphone-game project.

Three months later, the project now officially carries the name Chainsaw Man Devil Crush.

In Japan, the title is written チェンソーマン デビルクラッシュ, while the official account has begun using チェンクラ as a shortened name in hashtags and promotional communication.

The title now anchors the new teaser website as well as the project's Japanese and global social identities.

The Teaser Illustration Puts Chainsaw Man Against an Explosion of Color

The title announcement arrived together with the first teaser illustration for Chainsaw Man Devil Crush.

The visual places Chainsaw Man in an attacking pose, with his chainsaw head and arm blades visibly bloodied. Behind him is a highly saturated composition dominated by pink, green and blue, sharply contrasting with his clothing and body.

A large stylized face also fills part of the background, adding to the chaotic graphic presentation.

It is important to distinguish this material from gameplay imagery. The official announcement describes it as a teaser illustration, and no battle interface, gameplay screen, menu or actual gameplay footage has been shown through this reveal.

The visual therefore begins defining Devil Crush's promotional identity without yet revealing how the game itself will play.

MAPPA's Opening Movie Has Been Available Since June

Although the Devil Crush name was only announced in September, the project has already had a major video component since its original reveal.

On June 19, 2026, the official Chainsaw Man anime site announced the smartphone game and simultaneously released an opening movie produced by MAPPA.

The video uses ALL THE LYNCH!! ALL THE MINCE!! by Maximum the Hormone as its opening theme.

Maximum the Hormone already has history with the Chainsaw Man franchise, while this game project gives the band a dedicated new track serving as the opening's musical identity.

Because that movie belongs to the same smartphone-game project now officially named Chainsaw Man Devil Crush, it remains the main audiovisual material available for understanding the project's tone, characters and energy before gameplay footage is revealed.

The Title Is Confirmed, but the Gameplay Is Still a Secret

September's announcement answers one major question—the game's official name—but leaves most product details untouched.

There is still no official explanation of whether Chainsaw Man Devil Crush is an action RPG, turn-based RPG, strategy game, card game, character-collection game or another format.

Stage structure, combat systems, exploration, an original story, multiplayer, gacha mechanics, playable characters and progression have likewise not been detailed.

Chainsaw Man appearing prominently in the teaser illustration also does not automatically confirm the playable roster or represent a specific in-game attack.

Until official gameplay is shown, those systems remain unconfirmed.

Developer, Release Date and Store Pages Remain Unrevealed

Business and distribution details for Devil Crush are similarly limited.

Game Ad

Nightmare Horror Investigation

The June announcement officially identified it as a smartphone game, but the available primary material does not provide a launch date.

The game's developer, dedicated publisher/operator, price, monetization structure and device requirements have not yet been clearly presented in the verified announcements.

There is also no verified store page currently providing an age rating, download size, language list, purchase system or supported service regions.

For that reason, details such as iOS or Android-specific support, free-to-play status, gacha, simultaneous global launch or other technical information should wait for a product page or another official announcement.

A Global Account Extends Devil Crush Communication Beyond Japan

One development accompanying the game's new identity is the use of the global account @CHAINSAWDC_GL.

That account shared the same reveal in English, confirming the Chainsaw Man Devil Crush name and directing users to the teaser website.

Its presence shows that promotional communication is not limited solely to a Japanese-language audience.

However, a global social account alone does not establish exactly which countries will receive the game at launch, whether every region will launch simultaneously, or which languages will be supported.

Those international distribution details remain pending a fuller product announcement.

Why This Matters

1) The project finally has its own identity beyond Chainsaw Man collaborations

For three months, it was known simply as a Chainsaw Man smartphone game. Devil Crush now gives it a distinct product identity.

2) The teaser illustration is the first major visual following the naming reveal

Chainsaw Man sits directly at the center of the promotion, but the image remains teaser artwork rather than a representation of gameplay.

3) MAPPA and Maximum the Hormone already give the project a strong audiovisual anchor

Before gameplay has even been shown, the project already has a MAPPA-produced opening and a dedicated Maximum the Hormone song.

4) The most important product details are still being withheld

The title is known, but gameplay, developer, release date, monetization, pre-registration and store availability all remain for later announcements.
